Default Researching remote bleeders, need opinions

Hey guys, Im looking at buying a remote clutch bleeder. Need to get rid of dirty fluid throughout system and the remote clutch bleeders will do this correct? I have been using a mity vac to pull out the air and draws some dirty fluid but not all. I dont like getting old fluid all over in the bell housing and possibly damaging the clutch itself.

Any suggestions/opinions on the remote bleeders out there.

Sponsors have any tips/info.

Thanks in advance

I just used the tick speed bleeder. It worked great. What I did was push the clutch pedal down an put something like a mighty vac on the bleeder end. Just make sure you keep the resovoir full. Did it with my monster 3 and MWC rear at the same time.

BTW, I see you have MS3 cam. Have heads too or cam only? how do you like the cam? My car is a bolt on car with MWC 9", 4.11 spooled rear. Run consistent 11.8x-11.9x with best of 11.73 and average about 115-116 MPH. Been kicking the cam packagae idea around but the car runs soo good now the way it is. Also need a tune lol

I have the tick remote bleeder line. It allows me to easily bleed the clutch by myself. Use it to cycle new fluid through the system. Then use a mity vac to make sure all the air is out.

btw..that rear end and gmmg c/b is sexy !

Why Thank you. The red just sets it off. Where do you have your line mounted and can this be installed without pulling trans?

You have to screw it into the slave cylinder, have to unbolt the tranny from the bellhousing, you can probably get in there to put it on the slave without fully dropping the tranny. I have the tick master, I just crack the one way bleeder and bleed it that way, works great.
