Default 5th Gen Manual Clutch Bleed/Trans Fill

Like the title says, I need to do both of these things. Confused on what is the fill hole on the trans housing....

Also, i'm bleeding the clutch from the slave cylinder and no air is present, but the clutch just slams against the floor.

Fill hole is about halfway up on the back side of the transmission housing - it looks identical to the drain hole. You'll want a funnel with a long tube to reach it from around the strut tower/fuse box area.

Thought it was a 17mm head...the drain is a 3/8 hole.

i usually fill mine thru the side where the axles go in, i fill it with a rubber hose until it begins to drip out, it may not sound like the most reasonable way, but it works good.

Yes, that's correct, assuming you mean 3/8 inch drive bolt. You are only putting a 3/8 ratchet on it.
