Default Bleeding the clutch?

Hey all. I'm totally new to Hondas so forgive me; but I did search and came up with nothing.

I've always been an RX7 guy but I just got a '93 DX sedan 5-speed for free, and since I've needed a daily driver this should work nicely. It's got some rough edges but it's really not bad at all. Anyways, the clutch action feels terrible; I'm thinking there's air in the lines. Where is the bleeder screw for the clutch?

when you look at the exhaust manifold, to the left of it you will see a nipple and you will see the hydraulic clutch lines

Awesome, thanks.

Unfortunately, after bleeding it, I can no longer get it into gear when it's running - must have fucked up somewhere, though I think the throwout bearing is bad anyways.

you probably have a leak in the slave cylinder or master cylinder for the clutch's hydrolic system. Replace the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder and bleed the system by cracking the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder and the procedure is the same as bleed your braking system.

The reason I'm thinking the throwout bearing may be a problem, is because when I was driving it earlier - the clutch would make an absolutely nasty sound when I threw it in to shift. I'm going to fool around with it more though. Hopefully I can figure something out.
