What does it mean if my clutch is catching at the top of the pedal?

Lately, my Honda Accord’s clutch has been catching at the top of the pedal and I have no idea why. I’m not sure if there’s an issue with my pedal or something else is happening with the car, but what does it mean if my clutch is catching at the top of the pedal?

If you find your clutch engages at the top of the pedal, there are a number of possible causes for this—but most will be related to your car’s clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, or the clutch pedal itself.
You’ll probably have to take your Accord to the mechanic to get a proper diagnosis. If you end up having to replace your clutch, this service could set you back between $1,255 and $1,432.
