Default '95 Honda Accord hydraulic(?) clutch failure...

I'm finally getting to the '95 Accord...turns out that the slave
cylinder is leaking--the master is dry as can be. First off, I
accidentally picked up parts for a '96--IIRC, the body type changed in
'96--did the tranny components as well? i.e., will a slave from a '96
fit the '95 (visually it looks like a fit)?

Secondly, leading up to the slave is a hard plastic line. When I back
off on the line leading to the slave, I'm guessing it'll crack.
Dealer item? Is it heat shrinkable or something?

Finally, is there a clutch pedal freeplay adjustment on the '95s?

TIA!
Darryl.
