Default Explain your system?

True007 Explain your system. Does it have 0, 1, or 2 bleeders on it. If it's a self bleeder setup the only thing you can do is vacuum down the whole system and install new fluid. There is no real way to get all the fluid out of the system, fill with new fluid and have a good pedal. Most in clutch systems come as a 1 piece for master and HTB. Have fluid full. Just install. On some hydro throw out bearing setup you can get into the bell housing and retrack the HTB. This will get out about 80% of the fluid. Install new fluid and pump the pedal. I have found that by using a vacuum pump and installing new fluid this works the best for removing any air in the system. If your system has a slave and master cylinder, you can just pressure bleed the system until new fluid comes out the bottom. Why do you want to bleed the system? Are you having a problem? If the clutch is working OK and the pedal feels solid, leave it alone. Sometimes adding new fluid causes the system to leak internaly. The seals get used to that fluid and when new fresh is installed it kills the seals. It's the same with doing a trans service in your car. Every 30K miles we find no problems, but do one at 100K with the orginial fluid in the trans and about 20% return within a couple of months with a problem and the new fluid is cooked. Sometimes it's the changing of a factory fluid to an partial Sythestic fluid. Any way hope this helps, Rick L
