My 2003 honda accord 2.4l standard car which I have only owned for 2 weeks has a problem. I was driving slowly in second and was gearing down to first at wendys and I hear a pop from the clutch pedal area. Then I notice there is not much resistance in the pedal and I couldnt shift gears with the car running. I had to put it in neutral and park it. Does anyone know what this is? Is it a clutch cable? And how much will this cost me? Im 16 with a small income

Check clutch's master cylinder and hose all the way to at clutch 'slave' cylinder and it may have blown anything to do with the hydraulics showing the fluid or can fail without losing fluid but that sounds like the trouble to chase down for now,

Hydraulic clutch failures are pretty common but usually won't make any noise when failing. That noise could indicate a broken pressure plate too.

Is this hydraulic or cable? If cable I'd figure it snapped. Thats not an expensive fix.

No, it's hydraulic.

That depends on a variety of factors. Where you live, exactly what is wrong, the parts vendors they use, etc. A rustbelt car costs more than something from the desert. Also what the particular shop charges and how they bid it. We don't quote a price for other people's business. I would recommend though that you don't go with the absolute lowest bidder or some crackhead from Craigslist unless you like walking. If you get three reputable shops with bids a hundred or so from each other and some guy will do it for half don't do it. The cheapest repair is the most expensive in the end trust me.

Prices are not going to be known for how difficult the fix could be. If not just a flex hose that suddenly blew off (first guess) that could make a pop then it was some other mechanical fault unknown right now.
Even finding a fluid mess may not be the cause but the result of some other failure,
