the hydraulic clutch is really not that much different from the brake system. takes same fluid.

ok, um how exactly do we bleed it?? I tried doing it like the brake system by having him press the clutch pedal while I released on the bleeder valve and we got nothing after several pushes. doing the brakes we got fluid after three pushes. both systems were completely evacuated before starting.

I'm thinking maybe this is a gravity bleed from completely evacuated until fluid comes out and then a pedal push type bleed from there??

just crack the bleeder and keep pumping. make sure there is fluid in the resevoir at all times. then when the fluid is all clean, tighten the bleeder. then have somesone pump the pedal 3 times and hold it down on the 3rd time, then you crack the bleeder. tighen it. do this 3 times
