Find and read my Blind Fold Taste Test thread I posted a while back, I think you'll find it interesting as far as the shifting issue goes.Thought I should give you an update .... Done, and it worked!!! I replaced the old fluid with new, and bled the system to ensure no air, water, etc. Not only is the prolbem solved, but the infamous "Honda clunk" you get when shifting from neutral into first is noticably quieter.
I guess that bit in the owners manual about changing the clutch fluid every couple of years is good advice.
Again, thanks to all! Mike
