Bleeding clutch line Hey I'm taking an LS1 and the six speed tranny out of an '01 Camaro and putting it into a '56 Chevy. I just got the clutch linkage and everything hooked up to the pedal and tranny. How do you bleed the clutch system and where is the bleeder valve? I didn't see one anywhere, but I'm sure I just didn't look in the right place. Thanks, Parker

It's on the driverside. It's right above or below the line that is going into the slave cylinder. I think it's a 10mm bolt. The bolt itself doesn't stick out real far. Correct me people if i'm wrong. I used a 1/4 ratchet and a socket on mine a few months back

The bleeder valve is located about 2.5 inches or so above the quick connect fitting; you won't be able to see it with your eyes just feel for it.You will need a 1/4" drive 7/16" socket.

If you have a socket over the bleeder valve how can you tell how much is coming out? I need to bleed my clutch really soon. Also do you just have some1 put the clutch to the floor and hold then you open like brakes or do you open it then have someone put it to the floor? Do you guys usually pump it first too like you do with brakes?
