I have a few questions regarding the clutch and transmission in my 02 GLS. Basically, when I got the car, the pedal would just go to the floor. I managed to bleed it quite a bit and it is better but the fluid is black and it still doesn't have as much resistance as I am used to, do I need to flush all of the fluid? Also, the car will *sometimes* grind gears if I don't have the clutch pedal ALL THE WAY to the floor when I shift, I cannot tell if I have a bad clutch or if I am just too used to the old Hondas I used to have.
Reverse is a challenge. I will have to sometimes put it in first and then into reverse multiple times before it will go into reverse. It is sometimes very hard to get into reverse and also sometimes a little difficult to get into first and second. I don't hear any weird noises and the car doesn't really surge during acceleration except around 35 mph but I do have a bad MAP sensor and I know that can cause surging issues. Last time the car had a really bad surge is when the check engine light came on for the MAP sensor.
I just don't know if I need to bleed the system more, flush it, replace the master/slave cylinders or replace the clutch itself.
