Default drill mod on a third gen?

anyone know if it would be easier to bleed the clutch on a third gen with a ls1swap over a 4th gen?

im just getting ready to do it and heard the bleeder valve on the 4th gens are hard to get to.

Its not easy, but then its not hard. Get a 1/4" rachet, with a 7/16" socket. Once you get it onto the bleeder, just leave it on, and open/close it.

I just did it on my LS2/T56 iroc-z. Obviously not enough in my case, cause its not disengaging haha

Shouldn't be too awful bad - I've been mocking up my transmission & I don't remember thinking that it was really horrible...

But then I've also bought the remote bleeder as well, just in case.

I drilled a inspection/Access hole in my Trans tunnel and use a plug on it after. .1/4" drive socket and extension and I can do it from the drivers seat..! Just a option to consider...
