From Superhonda.com

"the clutch will feel like it has no pressure and will go up and down very easily...and it won't go back up unless you lift it...
you will now have to bleed it...go buy one of the brake bleeding kit...3.99...looks like a little container with a top and a clear hose attached to it....loosen then bleeder screw located infront of the slave cylinder and attach the clear hose to it...fill the container with brake fluid and attach the tube there...make sure you keep the reservoir tank full at ALL TIMES when bleeding..have a friend pump the clutch a few times and you watch as the air bubble is being pumped out of your cylinder...have him lift the clutch slowly but push it down fast...so the air gets out...tell him to keep doing that till you no longer see any air bubbles coming out of the tube...as soon as you see no more air bubbles come out...immediately tell him to have the clutch pedal pressed to the floor and hold it there.....then tight up the bleeder screw....remember when bleeding ALWAYS have your reservoir tank full....or else air will get inside and you will have to start all over....it takes about 5 minutes to bleed it with the container...anyways when you tighten up the bleed screw....lift up the clutch pedal slowly...it will draw fluid into the system and will be hard to push back down with hand....when u feel like you have pressure in the clutch...bleeding is done...now reattach the fans and take your car for a test drive....it will be like new...smooth gears better for the clutch cuz you're not trying to force it in and wearing it out..."

I didn't use the bleeder kit and it worked fine.

Hope this helps.

I just did mine today....Best thing to do is suck out all the old fluid from the tank and pour new fluid in. Then have a friend sit in the car and press the clutch all the way down. Now open the bleeder screw and the fluid will come out. Then when it stops close the screw back up and tell you friend to release the pedal...you will notice the fluid in the tank will go down. Repeat this process untill new fluid starts to come out.
