Damn that thing is empty...I'm guessing you don't check often...Don't know how many miles are on your car but you may want to change out your tranny and diff fluids also.







peace

No no no....don't stick anything in the res.

Just forget it. I'm talking about under the car, at the trans. The clutch fork.
I just might a small form of dyslexia because I swear your advice said something else.

Have no idea where the fork you are talking about is. Is it near the tranny fluid fill and drain bolts? How about anywhere in this pic below? If not where exactly. That way I dont have to tow the car to the dealer. Thanks B.





UPDATE:

I went ahead and pressed my clutch pedal a bunch of times and I felt the pressure coming back. Tomorrow Ill check the fluid and pump the pedal some more. Perhaps I can drive it to the dealer monday morning to do a clutch bleed if its only 30 dollars. Might be a good idea.
Well this has been a learning experience for me. Thanks Billman for your patience with me. Ill post tomorrow if i can actually get the car to drive.

The black thing with the hose attached to it is the clutch slave. There's two small rectangular holes in the boot. If you reach inside there with a screwdriver, you can push, or pump the fork back towards the master. Do it 4 times, it will expell the air.

Well I went ahead to see if I could get a clutch bleed from Honda and they wanted 100.00 to do it. So I went to a transmission place recommended by a body shop i have worked with before. He said there was a leak and the master would need to be replaced. 437 parts and labor. I told him I have a warranty and I should go to Honda first to see if the parts would be covered. I took it to the dealer and gave them the lowdown. I got a call back saying that indeed there was a leak in the master (i already knew that) and......IT WOULD BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. Thank freaking God. Thanks everyone for your advice.

Kewl....change the fluid after the new master at 4k, and 10k thereafter. Just suck it out, paper towel it, and fill it back up. No need to bleed it. Real simple
