Help with Bleeding the Clutch.

dude316 · 11-05-2007, 07:49 PM

My clutch has stopped working recently and I later found it was completely out of clutch fluid. I've refilled it up and I can tell that there's air in the system. I've never bleed the clutch fluid before so I've no idea where the bleed valve is located. Can anyone give me a little help? And direct me to where I can find it.

Thanks ahead.

I'm a noob, I know.

It is in front of the transmission, kinda behind the drivers rear wheel.

Next to the clutch release cylinder you will find the drain plug. It has a small cap on it .Its near the gear box where the gear box cables are held down with clips

I'll make it a bit easier. If you can find the clutch slave, you'll notice two lines. If you trace them both, one goes up front and the other leads to the bleeder valve.

I had to bleed mine recently, I think there are a few ways to do it. I was able to use the old fashioned way, had someone in the car pumping furiously, told them to hold the pedal down and I cracked open the valve. Repeated that a few times and it's held up nicely.

I've heard other folks say that method doesn't work well, they use a vacuum device to pull the fluid / air through.

either way, good luck to you!
