So I just bought a 1997 Accord LX for USD 1400 with 148k Miles. My first stick shift car yay. I've noticed that when I take my foot off the clutch, I hear a pumping noise of some sort. It goes away when I depress it again. Is that the slave cylinder acting up? And is it something to be really worried about?

My really worn down key only unlocks my doors but it doesn't lock on either side. It doesn't lock/unlock the glove box but it does open the trunk. Any way to fix this? I was planning on getting a new key and greasing the locks, would that do it?

My driver side window isn't making a seal where it meets the B pillar. And the weather stripping is a bit deformed. Before I fix that, would realigning the window help remedy that?

Final question: My instrument cluster backlight seems to be out. I'm going to look for a fuse first and then replace the bulb for it. Anything special I should look out for?

Thanks. It feels great to actually have a Honda again.
