There's a bleed nut on the clutch slave cylinder (look for the only hydrolic line going into your tranny). Bleed it like you would your brakes and make sure to keep the fluid resevoir full (under the hood near your brake fluid resevoir).

I shouldn't have to give this warning, but I've known a few people dumb enough to do this:
DO NOT TRY TO BLEED YOUR CUTCH WITH THE SLAVE CYLINDER OR TRANSMISSION DETACHED FROM THE CAR!!!!!! The little rod with the ball on the end that pushes on your release fork will shoot out like a freakin' bullet.

 

All,

I am still in need of some advice...

Since the car is at 30,000 miles anyway...I took it in for the 30,000 mile service and requested them to bleed the clutch.

They did it and the tranny is still the same...I can't get into 1st or reverse when the car has been started. It takes quiet a bit of pressure.

The way I now put the car in gear is that I put the shifter in 1st or reverse before I start the car, and get this...when I release the parking brake, the car starts moving even though my foot is depressing the clutch!

I took it to John Eagle Honda to see if they can help me out...they said "sure", and asked me to bring it back in a couple weeks because they are backed up with flood damaged cars...

 

Phantom,
The only thing it can be is the clutch is not disengaging completely. Have you tried to adjust the clutch?? Time to change dealers and talk to the service manager at Eagle.

Maybe they installed the release bearing backwards, its been a week since I had it in my hand but I thought, unless it comes complete they could screw it up, and make it too short to pull on the pressure plate.

 

ok nevermind- the throwout bearing seems to be fool proof

what your describing is exactly what happens when a clutch slave cylinder goes bad(leaks), or gets air in the lines

Have you tried pumping the clutch?
