What is With My Clutch?

In at least one severe case, the problem was 99% cleared up by greasing the input shaft and collar that the throwout bearing rides on.
The transmissions/clutch had been previously worked on by a Honda dealer and they left the thing bone dry. Once we greased it up and replaced the collar, all was well again. Of course this requires removing the transmission and is a major pita.

Can't you access the the shaft with the transmission in once you have the slave cylinder out?

I STRONGLY suggest just lubing the clutch release fork before you go through getting the tranny dropped in order to deal with the TO bearing, etc.
To lube the clutch fork, all you need to do is:
- remove the slave cylinder
- pop the dust cover off the side of the bell housing
- give a pull on the release fork. Don't worry, you can't pull it all the way out.
- use some high temp grease on all the surfaces that come in contact with anything. That includes the pivot point and the ends of the two forks. This will be very obvious once you get under there. A screwdriver helps in applying the grease
This made a MONUMENTAL difference in my clutch actuation, and I strongly suggest doing it. Only takes 30 minutes.
