I would.

I would not.


also does anyone know the name of or have the part number of the large rubber boot that
covers the hole in the bellhousing.

Try 'Boot, release fork'

Re: slave cylinder repair

Petroleum grease should NEVER come near parts that contact brake fluid. I'm not sure what part(s) you are thinking of greasing but the previous statement should let you make up your mind.

The contact point between the slave pushrod and the throwout (release) fork.


I'd probably use Hondas Urea grease if it were handy...
