Right, on the 5th pump hold it down, while its held down have your friend quickly close the bleeder screw, then u can let your foot off.

yep, and it should go back to being somewhat hard, or to your liking hope it helps you good luck

ja20_eg

k but what if its still the same how it is right now.....

ek-g6

i would say its just how the clutch kit was made, some are hard and some are soft, that would be my explanation.

ja20_eg

k man thank for the info

aslong as your clutch engages all is good, make sure you fluid levels are up, years ago when i didnt know anything about honda, i didnt have a brake fluid in the clutch resovior, and my clutch didnt want to grab as much, it made a supercharger noise, and annoyed the hell out of me..didnt know what it was untill my friends bro in law just bled the clutch and all was good..for a day people thought i really did have a supercharger, and wanted to race, but i knew i would lose, cuz i couldnt go faster than 30 without hearing the noise. I had something that sounded like a supercharger, but definitely didnt make my car go faster..lols best of luck to you tho.
