Bleeding/flushing fluid in clutch lines

WankelsRevenge · 08-13-2013, 03:11 PM

So I was looking around underthe hood the other day and decided to check out the condition of the fluid in my clutch resivouir. Well needless to say it was in rather rough shape. How hard/involved is it to drain/flush this fluid so I can get some new/fresh stuff in it?

Crack the bleed screw on the slave and do the same as brakes. Pump pump hold. Do that a few times and it should flush right through.

Thankfully I have a vaccum bleeder so all the pumping wont be necessary. Any idea where I can find the bleeder screw at though? I looked around all under the car and couldnt find it.

Look next to the oil filter. The slave is right there. It should be right on the other side of the hose. Follow the lines from the M/C and you will see it. It isn't too hard to get to and get a hose and I think it's a 8mm wrench on the bleed screw.

^What he said. If you have a T2 with the stock top mount IC, the job is much easier if you remove the IC first.
