Oh, and I forgot, the check valve on the slave cylinder that makes the clutch impressively unresponsive.

Speaking as an owner of one of these, the reliability isn’t what it should be. Particularly, the 6MT is prone to failure. There’s a TSB for a bad third gear synchro (grinds and pops out) that Honda generally won’t fix under warranty, there’s the bad pressure plate that tends to cause all sorts of strange behaviour…
