Default Honda Clutch fluid.

I know Honda tranny fluid matters, but does clutch fluid matter if its Honda?

No, generic DOT 3 brake fluid is OK. There is no special "clutch fluid," use brake fluid in it.

I know.
I just thought if you knew I was using it for the clutch, it wouldn't be confusing.

Well the transmission fluid doesn't really matter either... it's just better to use the Honda fluid. For the clutch, I would just make sure you don't cheap out and buy a questionable brand. I've been using Prestone Synthetic DOT3 brake fluid and it works well.
