BLEEDING HYDRAULIC CLUTCH SYSTEM
Fill reservoir with clean DOT 3 brake fluid. Raise vehicle. Disconnect slave cylinder from bellhousing, leaving line attached. Hold slave cylinder at angle of 45° with bleeder screw at highest point.
Have an assistant depress clutch pedal while you open bleeder. Close bleeder and release pedal. Repeat sequence until all air is removed from system. Make sure master cylinder reservoir stays full during bleeding process.
