Anyone have a pic or diagram of the exact location of the Mk2 GT3 clutch bleed valve?

I can't seem to find the info in my 996 tech manuals. I looked all over the driver's side of the tranny and I couldn't seem to find it!

The only "suspect" was a small hex on top of the tranny... maybe a 5-6mm hex. Is that it?

On a regular C2, the bleed valve is in plain sight.

The bleed valve on my turbo is a small head, like 5mm. It is way up on top, and a bit difficult to see.

I think it is an 11 mm hex.

I was afraid that was it. I'll have to call Plastic Man to get at it...

The 996 C2 is either a 10 or 11 mm hex. The GT3's is much smaller... I just had a bud tell me that it's a 6 mm hex.

That's why I posted my info. The GT3 trans is not that much different than the old G50s, but the 996 is totally different. I can't remember what size mine is...I just know it's one bigger than my smallest wrench .

I finally accessed the clutch bleed valve.

I tried with the rear up on tire ramps, but I couldn't reach the valve... even though I could see it.

However, I could reach the valve with the left rear wheel off and my arm stuck all the way through to the top of the tranny.

Woo hoo. 7 mm (6 point) hex was a tad too big, but a 7 mm (12 point) hex wrench fit perfectly.
