In the automatic transmission, the transmission oil should be replaced. How about the stickshift?Clutch oil resevoir?
Most clutches use hydraulics in lieu of mechanical linkages. The fluid is the same as brake fluid on most systems. If the reservoir was never opened and is between the add and full marks you really don't need to change it.
If you want to change it -- and it won't hurt to do so -- there should be a bleed valve on the slave cylinder on the side of the bellhousing. You bleed the system the same way you would bleed a brake system. Keep the reservoir topped up and bleed it until fresh fluid comes out .Clutch oil resevoir?

Clutch oil resevoir?With a manual transmission you do have oil inside the transmission. It should last a very long time as there is no combustion going on in there. You could probably take it 60k miles easily before you changed that oil.
About the clutch %26quot;oil%26quot;... I believe Honda's use a hydrolic clutch, so that fluid is actually the hydrolic fluid for your clutch. That should last forever really so long as it stays between those two marks you can leave it alone.Clutch oil resevoir?
Hi
The oil used is just brake fluid. you should have it flushed every 2 years, just like your brake fluid. It will take dot3 or dot 4 . read your manual for what kind it takes.Clutch oil resevoir?
If you have two reservoirs side by side in the engine compartment, one is the clutch reservoir. Check your owners manual to see if it also uses brake fluid (hydraulic oil). It should be to the max line.
If you only have one reservoir under there, you don't have a hydraulic clutch.
Manual transmissions use gear oil, it needs to be checked every couple years to make sure it has enough in it, but seldom is changed, unless you have a problem.
