I just helped my little brother bleed his Honda's hydraulic clutch. We
bought a $5.00 "single person" brake bleed kit from FLAPS. It consists of a
little plastic bottle and some clear tubing and some fittings. Follow the
directions. The tube fits on a nipple on the bleed nut, and you put a little
fluid in the bottle to get started. The idea generally is to open the bleed
nut at the slave cylinder end, push down the pedal, close the bleed nut,
pull the pedal back up, repeat. This flushes out the fluid with its bubbles.
You must pause periodically to fill the reservior.

Alternatively, you could attain folk hero status by driving the rest of the
way with no clutch. Shifting is alright, as long as you match engine revs
with road speed for the desired gear. Apply a little pressure to the shift
lever toward the desired gear, and it will slip in with no grinding when the
proper RPM - road speed combination is reached. GOOD LUCK...
