Do you have a cable or hydraulic tranny?

most likely hydraulic cuase i dont think u bleed cable clutches plus its got a 92 or newer engine and tranny. but there is a little valve on ur slave cylinder well thats what i call the thing, but u turn that and then have someone pump ur clutch 5 times and then its suppose to bleed it, im just puttin up the sketchy details, i think im leavin something out but that is what i was told, if anyone wants to correct me or add on please do.

Yes, it's very similar to the how you would bleed your brakes...

look at slave cylinder on the end. there is a bleeding nipples. use an 8 mm closed ended wrench. turn towards the front of the car to loosen, and turn towards the motor to tighten.

top off clutch master cylinder
make sure system is closed.
have friend pump 3 times and hold on the 3rd pump.
loosen the bleeding nipple.
let air and fluid burble out, close tighten the bleeding nipple.
check clutch master cylinder make sure you aren't low on fluid.
have friend start pumping again.

repeat till all you see is fluid coming out, no bubbles at all.

pump 5 times or 3 times. i usually start off with 3 and then up it to 5. don't really matter.

It's simple, but you must have a friend to do it.

I have a vacuum pump for such jobs. Works very well when you have no friends, like me.

i had to do it all by my lonesome when I replaced my clutch mc

I ran a hose from the bleed nipple to a bottle of water where I could see from the drivers seat and pumped while watching for bubbles in the bottle of water.
