Just wanted to share the experience I had bleeding the clutch hydraulics of my 00 Formula. So I had a very weak clutch pedal and decided to replace my clutch master cylinder. I bought an Autozone master cylinder. I tried bleeding it but couldn't get it to work right. I search online for a few techniques and most of them involved using a vacuum pump. I didnt have one and it was 12am so no auto parts were open in my area. Then I wondered what would happen if I pumped brake fluid into the hydraulic system. So, I grabbed a syringe I used to pump fluid on my differential and filled it with brake fluid. After pumping the fluid thru the little hole in the reservoir for 2 times my clutch pedal was all the way up like it should be. I dont remember it ever being like that. So, I just wanted to see what other people think about the method that I used to bleed my clutch. When I did this I wasn't expecting it to work. My clutch hydraulics aren't perfect, and the pedal still gets softer at high rpm shifts. I will definitely buy a tick master once I save some cash but just want to be able to drive my car for now.

ive only had good luck with using a vacumme bleeder and bleeding from the resavoir, I got a speed bleeder and that didn't do anything for me

if replacing the master you should bench bleed it first before installing then it takes no time to bleed the system

Next time I will bench bleed it. My clutch pedal still good as of now.
