Change the tranny fluid and get the clutch hydraulic fluid changed while
the brakes are being done. You bought it used. Who knows if it was
abused at all (or somebody may have installed 'performance' lube in it).
:-(

It's all 'broken in' now and full of crud. . Time for a change. Use
Honda OEM manual tranny fluid.
