how do I properly bleed the clutch?
thanks
Close the bleeder valve (found on the back of slave cylinder) looks like the bleeder valve found on brakes. Have someone pump three times, and keep pressing down on the third pump. Someone opens the system. The pedal will fall too the floor, close the system and do it again.
I have a pip connected to the bleeder valve that is running into a bottle with clutch fluid in it. When you open the system and release the pressure build up, you'll see air come from the lines. Keeping doing it till you see fluid come from the lines, and no bubbles.
Pretty simple. Keep an eye out on your clutch master cylinder (by the firewall, and the place you put your clutch fluid in). Make sure it doesn't get low, keep topping it off. If you get air in there... you've got a lot of bleeding a head of you.
