A few questions:

Does our car have an adjustable clutch cable? If so, where is the adjustment located and has anyone ever adjusted it? Thanks...

nutter965

no cable there hydraulic, and a pain to bleed, hope this helps.

Does it share brake fluid or is it a solitary system?

nutter965

yip all the same tank, just re filled my system and bleed everything, a time consuming job even with a friend doing the pumping on the pedals,i had to use a power bleeder on the clutch as the slave is higher than the master cylinder .

I have bled my brakes 10+ times this year and never did the clutch; interesting... Any quick pointers on how do bleed the clutch; i have a motive so no pedal pumping is needed. Thanks.

Bleed the clutch slave cylinder the same as you would a brake caliper.

Geoffrey thanks for chiming in; where is she located? I'm envisioning somewhere above the bellies.

nutter965

up on top of the gearbox at the back of the bell housing look up from your drivers side you should be able to see it just, it took me a couple of attempts to get it bled, but i got there in the end just like the brakes!

Keep an eye on you master cylinder fluid. I think it pulls the fluid from the center of the tank?? I did mine last year and recall seening the center getting low. For me it was the dirtiest job on the car fluid loves to pour down on you..

It's the part of tank that is closest to the rear of the car.
Not much fluid in that compartement so I fill the tank well above the max level before bleeding. I think the ws manual says that you should drain 200ml at the slave cylinder (not sure though).

If your clutch pedal isn't returning properly, check for leaks, I had a cracked hose at the slave cylinder.

Drew, while youre in "bleeding mode" you might consider bleeding the break accumulator (if you haven't done that before). Let me know if you don't have the procedure (you need to follow them closely, up to 180psi pressure).

Don't you have to do that with the turbo?
One of the few useful pieces of information that I've seen in the Turbo Workshop manual.

Do what, bleed the accumulator?
