4 cylinder engine 5 speed
If replacing just the fluid, you should gravity bleed it by opening the valve at the side of the transmission where the line goes in to connect with the slave cylinder. Be sure to stand by and keep the tiny reservoir from going empty during bleeding, or you just make things worse. Assume you replaced parts. Is this right or wrong?
Or are you just trying to restore performance in a poorly operating system? Would help TONS to know these details, and how much you know about bleeding, etc. If you are trying to bleed a new slave cylinder, it can take 600 to 1800 pumps of the clutch pedal sometimes to clear it out manually. If you want instructions on how to bleed in with vacuum assistance, please post request comment to that effect.
Talk to you soon. TT
Open the bleeder and let it bleed. Just be sure to keep adding fluid to the bottle under the hood. If you pump the pedal, hold it down until someone closes the bleeder, then pump and bleed again, and again, and again, etc. etc.
for your info. CLutch does not normally require bleeding unless parts are replaced, or molested. Must be time for you to replace master or slave cylinder. Have you seen any leaks???????????
If not, the system needs proper diag. and service.
Wow, would like to know what happened? CLip? Was it missing or unwanted? LOve to hear if you have time. Thanks, TT

Hi TT,
I'm trying to restore performance in a poorly operating system. I have never bled a clutch before this and would appreciate having the instructions. Thanks.
Thanks for the info and help. The clutch had been sticking and bleeding was suggested as a possible solution. Have since found out that a clip was the culprit.
