Default ball-park how long to bleed clutch (there's no air, just freshening fluid)

'95 DX D15B7

Just want to get a very rough idea of how long to gravity bleed. I have only previously dealt with post-master cylinder bleeds which are a pita and can take forever due to the air in the system.

Thanks

with certain cars I've had to top off the canister because of air pockets itself in there.

As long as it took to start this thread and post a reply. Do not let the fluid run dry while bleeding though. Goes quicker with a helper.

Yep, keep that container topped with fluid - nice to have a helper to do this. Goes down faster than you'd think. Run it 'til the fluid is clean and clear ... ie., this is the new stuff you're putting in.

Yup, took 20-30 minutes all told. I use a tube with a one-way valve, so I think a little less comes out than just a straight tube. Plus it was really dirty so I purged it really well. Thanks!
