Replacing clutch on a 1997 Civic?

I noticed while driving a 1997 Civic that the clutch pedal has started
to feel real soft - very little resistence when depressing the pedal -
and when shifting into first and letting out the clutch, it takes a
while for the car to get moving - 2 questions:

Is there any adjustment possible to extend the life of the clutch?

(Almost afraid to ask) An approximate cost for a mechanic to replace a
Honda Civic clutch?

Thanks,
MJ

bleed the clutch hydraulic system first.
