Very good information. This looks like it will make things a lot easier for me. I've heard many stories of people spending countless time bleeding there system.

so you just fill the sprayer up and pump to get some pressure and wait to see bubble's rising in the master and once that stops it's done? Of course that's just the procedure to bleed the system and not to flush.

i think it be easier to just flush it. doesnt take like 20seconds to crack the bleeder. but yes that how it goes to bleed it just wait for bubbles. make sure if u make the cap that you put alot of rtv on it to seal it so u dont make extra bubbles or any leaks.

ok thanks a lot, I just ordered my clutch today w/ a new slave cylinder so I'm going to need to bleed it desperately. Plus I think my hydrolic fluid is burnt anyways having trouble shifing/pedal sticking to the floor. I'm going to see if I can get a hold of a lid for the master now.

No not yet, I really havent had the time to go look for the parts. I'm going to try and make it this weekend. I just ordered my clutch on saturday and it comes with a new slave cylinder. So I might just wait until I get it to bleed the system. Although I do want to flush/bleed the system to see if that is whats causing my problems. I'll keep you posted when I try the pressure bleeder. Oh and I NEVER skimp on the slicone, probably not a good thing on certain jobs, lol.
