Clutch System Bleeding

CAUTION: To prevent damage do not spill brake fluid onto plastic or painted surfaces.

NOTE: The clutch hydraulic system must be bled whenever a clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder tube or hydraulic clutch hose is disconnected.

3. With the clutch pedal held to the floor, tighten the bleeder screw.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 until no air bubbles appear in the fluid.
