Clutch Bleeding Procedure? Guys, is there any type of write up on how to bleed the clutch? What is the easiest way? I did a search, but didnt come up with much. Also, where can I get the mityvac part? Upgraded Slave? Thanks for the help!

I tried the Mityvac method. All I did was make one helluva mess.
I drilled a small hole in my floorboard, and bleed it by myself. Hold pedal down, crack open/close bleeder valve, pull pedal up. Pump 5-10 times, hold pedal down, crack open/close, pull pedal up. Repeat until pedal is stiff. Works fine for me.

Dude, with the Phoenix or Mityvac, all you do is loosen the slave cylinder valve with an 11 mm socket, insert the tip of the bleeder into the valve, and pump until your reservoir is full. It is that simple. It's easier if there's no fluid in the system, but if there is, you just fill it up until all the bubbles come out. Then you tighten the valve back.
