Ya mean the pedal movement sux? Not enough travel? That could be either end of the equation. If shit's jammed up inside the tranny bell - but, you already know that. I guess you could adjust it and see if the slave can push the arm farther then you'll now if it's binding up inside the bell.
I'm beginning to suspect the loose bolt condition may have hosed something up. When I put mine together a buddy was helping me. He has a clue and has done a few engines and clutches and such. Anyway, he put the clutch and throwout together and pilot shaft guide for the disc and pressure plate interface.
We were both wondering if the SOB would work as it's kinda small and cheesy compared to the Detroit iron we were both used to. Ended up it worked fine. I'm sayin, it wasn't easy to know if the phuker was right or not when we assembled it. I guess after a couple of them I would develop a feel for the Honda's - don't know. Did the same with the engine. Bought it used and had it delivered to the machine shop. They did the whole teardown and machine work, then I picked up a block, crank, and a couple of boxes of other parts, and a new gasket set. Then took the Tinker Toy set home, mounted the block to the engine stand and built the MF.
Handn't done a Honda since ~1994 and never a DOHC ZC.
Hydraulic clutches can be a PITA when there's a problem. Years ago me pappy had a 1960 Ford F-100 with a hydraulic controlled clutch. Had a few battles with that MF getting it correctly setup for bleed and final adjustment.
You'll figure it out Mike.

With a weak slave in the past I would put a nut between the fork and slave pin. That would atleast let you know if or not that was the issue.
Pedal travel is not binding. Pressure feedback seems a little light, and late in the travel. Again it has been since August that I drove this car so hard to remember what it felt like before.Ya mean the pedal movement sux? Not enough travel? That could be either end of the equation.

Ayway he put the clutch and throwout together and pilot shaft guide for the disc and pressure plate interface.

This is a good idea, I'm going to try this.
Thanks, I'll double check.

i have seen 16mm (.629in) and .700in (17.78mm) mentioned on some sites
