Squeaky Clutch
Since recently having my cd player stolen and now having no form of music, I have noticed that my clutch squeaks when pressing and releasing the pedal. Is there anything I can oil or correct to stop this? Also, I noticed my clutch fluid looked dirty and I was wondering if there was a way to remove all the old fluid so I could put all fresh in? Thanks for any info that can help.
that is completely normal, every honda/acura i know does that. u can put grease on the throw out bearing but that would involve taking off the tranny and clutch and imo its definately not worth it. to get new fluid you would have to bleed the clutch, it should take 5 -10 mins and is similar to bleeding the brakes

it's not normal.every Honda/Acura i've ever(or any other competent mechanic for that matter)put a clutch in doesn't do it.you need a little high temp grease on the pivot of the clutch release fork.some on the pivot ball inside the tranny case,and a little where the slave cylinder contacts the fork.a little on the input shaft sleeve that the throwout bearing rides on is also needed.note i said a LITTLE excessive amounts can get flung into the clutch assembly and cause premature failure.
as for your fluid,you can use a turkey baster to suck out the old fluid in the reservoir(you don't have to do his,but it speeds up flushing the system),then fill it back up with fresh fluid.then bleed the line until(and keep the reservoir full with new fluid)fresh fluid is coming through.
