does a clutch master cylinder from a dc fit and eg?
it would reduce pedal resistance??? i thought with it being bigger (?) it would be able to push more fluids??? but then again i can be dumb to

With the hydraulic cylinder being larger, it requires less movement and force to create the same amount of hydraulic flow.
You cannot use DOT5 brake fluid in a Honda brake or clutch system without changing all of the seals and rubber lines to DOT5 compatable materials.
You CAN, however, run DOT5.1 brake fluid. It is hygroscopic like conventional fluids but has higher comporession and heat resistance. DOT5 is a silicone based fluid.
The difference between Hygroscopic fluids and Silicone fluids is the following.......
Hygroscopic, a brownish/clear fluid (aside from aftermarket fluids like redline and ATE Super Blue), will absorb water and reject air, when water gets into the system (happens over time or if the cap is left off in humid conditions) the fluid will lower its heat resistance capabilities and give less of a pedal feel and lower the boiling point. Can be dangerous. Air can be easily bled out of the system.
Silicone based fluids (DOT5), have a deep purple color, do not absorb water but instead absorb air. By the fluid absorbing air, it makes it about as compressable as a slice of bread. Silicone based systems require special seals that do not allow air to pass and require more frequent change intervals and special maintenence. Water is repelled by Silicone based fluids so the boiling point will not be lowered.
