Title: Brake/clutch bleeding
Post by: renfield90 on April 24, 2009, 09:50:30 PM

I know how to bleed brakes...I've done so on my Celica. That car, however, is automatic, so I never had a clutch to worry about.

Does the clutch share fluid with the brakes? Where's the bleeder screw for that? And what order do you bleed it? (Since you bleed lines in order of furthest from the master cylinder to the closest).

Thanks in advance, likely doing this tomorrow...

Yes, it shares it. You will need to bleed the clutch at the slave cylinder which is mounted to the transmission under the car. I have done the brakes starting at the farthest, and do the clutch last.
