Exclamation No tension in clutch pedal

Hey guys, i have a honda civic dx 1.6 model, and i just got in the car this morning, i can`t feel pressure in the clutch, and when the car is running, i can`t shift gears. there used to have a "slack" in the pedal before, but it was working. now, i can`t shift at all.
this model, is it by cable, or oil clutch?

What year Civic is it? Older ones had cable transmissions, newer ones are hydraulic.

The reservoir for the clutch master cylinder is right next to the one for the brake master cylinder. In this picture, the one on the left is for the brakes, the one on the right is the clutch.

I had the same problem after i got some work done. It just needed some dot 3/4 brake fluid added to top it up. And when you get in just pump the crap out of it and it should tighten back up.
