85 Lude, old school cable clutch... No hydraulics (fluid)
Clutch is not adjustable. I would recommend changing the brake fluid in the clutch system and bleed the air out of it. If it continues to cause problems, rebuild the clutch master cylinder. Bob
You can bleed the clutch by loosening the fluid line. With the line loose pump the brakes until fluid comes out.
Use ONLY genuine Honda ATF-Z1 fluid.
there dry clutch's, run a cable. no fluid. .:. you can't bleed it. :)
There is no fluid in the system or master cylinder/slave cylinder failure (hydraulic). Cable streched or broken (if not hydraulic).

If the Prelude is an automatic, yes, you use automatic transmission fluid. If it's a manual, there's manual transmission fluid. As much as possible, purchase the manufacturer (Honda) branded transmission fluid.
It has a transaxle, there is no separate differential fluid.
No, slipping is not affected by low hydraulic fluid level. The hydraulics of your clutch only DISENGAGE your clutch, they do not engage it. If it's slipping, it's either worn out, the pressure plate springs have weakened or you have oil on the clutch disk.
Honda MTF (manual transmission fluid) / MTF2
I would recommend you use nothing but genuine Honda Clutch Fluid. I know it will cost more, but!
The type of automatic transmission fluid that you should put in your 1997 Honda Prelude varies depending on the transmission. Honda recommends that you use their own brand of ATF when you replace the fluid in the SportShift transmission.
