Default Bleeding the Hydraulic Clutch

Does anyone have a DIY on bleeding your Hydraulic Clutch. I think I know where to add the fluid but how do you get to it to flush and replace the fluid. Also anyone know how frequent it should be done?

I know I just read somewhere about how to bleed the clutch. But I'm not sure. I think it was on this forum. I'll try to find it.

Use a power bleeder (like Motive) - just like bleeding the brakes.

Yep, that's a good idea. Brake fluid (same stuff for clutch) absorbs water and corrodes the internal parts if not flushed.

I posted that on 6speed since they allow bigger files

http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/g...d+fluid+change

This is an easy DIY the hard part is finding the fill plug. Its on the drivers side of the trannie and up next to a cooler fin. Not much room to work. I then bought a 6.00 fluid pump and filled it with mobile delvac.

also you need to buy the allen wrench you cannot get a socket up in there.
