Help! Squealing noise when clutch is pressed!
2003 Civic DX.
Whenever I engage the clutch, a squealing noise seems to come from the engine bay. I was in the drive thru in neutral, presssed the clutch to shift into first and the clutch got stuck to the floor! A terrible squeaking noise started & smoke from under the hood, almost a rubber/wire smell coming in the cabin. I immediately parked it and got some to tow me home. I started the car yesterday, still squeaking but clutch still has compression and is grabbing about 2” away from the floorboard. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I do not ride on the clutch. Or neither do I hold the clutch for 4 minutes at redlights or “pop the clutch”. Will upload a video if needed!

if the clutch springs are getting weak, it will cause the pedal to go to the floor and stay..if the fluid is low or leaking, it would cause the pedal to go to the floor and may come back up with return spring pressure.(if there is a return spring) burning smell may be the clutch sliding and burning. if you have high milage, your clutch may be worn or release bearing worn out. or 03 age for clutch bearing to squeal..
