when the car shifts hard, try pumping the pedal....if it then shifts easy you need a slave

well if since you stated miles, im guessing the clutch is pretty old. I'd drop the transmission and just replace the clutch and sand the flywheel. take about 4 hours taking your time.

Replace the slave cylinder, remove all old fluid, and bleed off the system. I would also recommend that you get the transmission fluid changed and either replace it with 10w-40 Mobil 1 or Honda MTF.
