It's /not/ in there, for some odd reason.

But the brake and clutch mechanisms are the same basic construction and use
the same fluid. The fluids need to be changed at the same time.

Re: clutch pressure cylinder of a manual tranny 2000 Civic
 

I'll probably get flamed but I have never changed any of the following in my
car:

Brake fluid
Clutch fluid (dealer didn't even flush this when they did the clutch on
warranty at 170000kms)
P/S fluid
Coolant (I did change 1/2 of it when I did my water pump)

I have also been told by more than one Honda dealer that the above are
considered "Lifetime" fluids. I suppose that means that there is no listing
on the maintenance schedule, so do it as needed.

I have changed:

Engine Oil (every 5000-10000kms) - Mobil 1 synthetic since about 80000kms
Tranny Fluid (Manual trannie, every 50000-75000km) - Honda fluid only

I have a 98 Civic LX Sedan 5spd manual with 283000kms on it.

The brake fluid is listed as every 3 years in my Si Manual...
