Fairly easy.

The blled screw down by your manifold. unscrew that and press teh clutch pedal down until the new fluid is there. Jsut tighten fill the fluid back up and pump teh pedal until it feels fine.

I found 18 topics from gravity to pump bleeding when I did a search. That's how I found the best way to do mine last time

That is SOO wrong. It doesn't work, one of my friends tried it.

The bleeder screw is right on the Slave Cylinder. Look down in front of transmission (in front of the radiator fan). You'll see a bleeder screw there. Looks like a nut with a hole on top of it, can't miss it. It's a 10mm (I think) screw. DEFINITELY use a Flare Nut wrench or Vise-Grips.

Have someone crack open the bleeder screw.

Push down on the clutch pedal.

Tighten bleeder screw.

Release clutch pedal (or grab it and bring it up if there is NO pressure).

Repeat until you have enough pressure (not too high).

I don't think the clutch builds pressure like the brakes do when you pump them.

The fluid that's in your Clutch master cylinder is brake fluid. You should probably use the same type as you have in you Brake master cylinder. Probably DOT 3 brake fluid.

I don't think that 10-30 oil for your transmission is the greatest fluids to use!

Why not use the correct fluid? There is a reason why they make Manual Tranny Fluid and Automatic Tranny Fluid.

Dude, those fluids are made for people who CARE about the life of their transmission and CARE about proper lubrication of all parts that have lots of friction between them. I guess they doubt Engineers made fluid for specific parts. It's only a "give me your money" gimmick. Come on now!

Are you sure?

Some retarded mechanic around me was doing the EXACT same thing for about, of I say, 30 minutes and NEVER built up any pressure. Just watching him bleed the clutch line from this other Honda and couldn't resist laughing. Had to tell him the proper way to do it and it was up to pressure within 20 seconds.
