Throw out Bearing Can i replace the throw out bearing and use my same slave?? Do i have to bleed the hydro line if i do...what if i replace the whole thing...i called the dealership and the said there are 2 sizes for a 01 6 speed...one with the length of 47.5m and 36.11???
you can replace the t/o bearing and use the old slave. you dont need to bleed it if you dont disconnect the line from the slave to the master.
i dont anything about the part numbers for the t/o bearings, most clutch kits just come with one

like i said, i would think you'd want a T/O from the clutch manufacturer, but they may all be the same (i don't really know).
to bleed the system you first find the bleeder valve on the slave (with tranny on or off). if you see where the master line connects into the tranny/slave (driver's side), follow that line straight up the tranny seam about 3 inches, and you'll find a little hole; inside the hole is the slave bleeder valve.
put a 7/16 socket on there with a small ratchet; you may need to move wire looms out of the way by removing them temporarily. make sure the master cylinder reservoir is full of fluid, then have a buddy pump the clutch about 25 times and then hold it down. then you loosen the slave bleeder for about 5 seconds, let the fluid trickle down, and then tighten the bleeder valve, then the buddy can pull the pedal off of the floor.
repeat this about 10 times, checking the master cylinder fluid ever 3-4. 10 times should be enough. a good way to tell you've got all the air out of the system is when the clutch begins to seem like the feel of it is not changing at all in between bleeds.
