Flush and fill my friend... the clutch resevoir is next to the DRL module, or if you don't know where that is, it's time for a service manual of some sort.

It's the smaller of the two resservoirs on the driver's side of the car. Use Honda DOT 3 fluid, the same for the brakes. I have an owner's manual.

My owner's manual doesn't say how to flush/bleed, or where the fittings even are.

Ah, the service manual. The owner's manual says right pedal means go. I think we should make an online Helms a sticky.

Time for a thread revitalization.

I wish to tackle clutch flush, here is what I am gonna try to do:

1) attach a tube to the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder.
2) loosen the bleeder valve, and step on the clutch paddle to pump the fluid out.
3) add fluid while someone is stepping on the paddle.
4) wait until fresh fluid comes out, then I know the whole system is flushed?

I guess I need two people to do this eh?

Please advise/correct me if I am wrong. Thanks

that is correct. also, be sure to tighten the bleeder valve only when the pedal is pressed down fully after the fluid has started comming out clear
