Re: Bleeding a Clutch on Cable trans
maybe if the cable frays and it pokes you, then you bleed.
General walk through of each system;
hydraulic system:
clutch pedal --> clutch master cylinder --> fluid --> slave cylinder --> clutch fork
cable system:
clutch pedal --> cable --> clutch fork
"bleeding" the system refers to removing the air from the hydraulic fluid used between the master and slave cylinders. In a cable clutch setup that link is done by a cable rather than hydraulic fluid.
