2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Bleeding clutch

[BudPhoto]

I decided to change the fluid in my clutch. There does not seem to be a way to bleed it. It did not look that bad, so I just vacuumed out the reservoir and refilled it. If there is a way to bleed it, I would like to do that also.



Any ideas?

They are a sealed system that is not suppose to be serviced or bled. If you want to bleed it remove the slave cylinder from the bell housing and disconnect the line by pushing out the two roll pins. Collaps the cylinder by hand and the fluid will squirt out. Refill the cylinder, attach to the line and compress again. Before letting it our fill the reservoir and allow it to suck fluid down as the rod extends. Cycle it a few times to be sure the air is all out and reinstall the slave cylinder.



I wish it was as simple as that sounds but my advice is to just leave it alone. It can be a royal PITA.

Thank you for the info

I kind of figured that would be the answer and was hoping that there was a secret valve. Have sucked out the old fluid from the reservoir and put in fresh. It looked better than the brake fluid before it was changed. Everything works great and I will wait until there is a problem before touching the slave cylinder.



Thank you again,
