How much fluid do you refill the slave with?

Did you lose any fluid while doing it?

Dumb question? I'm doing this in the morning.

Well I'm wash it out with water then blow it out with compressed air.

One small bottle of brake fluid should do to fill her up. I can always go get more. Besides I don't like to mix different fluids and I'm not sure what fluid is in it right now.

I flushed mine out using my old slave cylinder. I just kept cycling fluid until it was clear.

The only reason Im not doing it is because I need to get my tranny in my car ASAP. because I havent driven it for 2 months and im going insane. No more time consuming things. how long is it supposed to take anyways? and if I gotta rebleed the master cylinder, you can forget it. I dont have time. (unless I must rebbleed it after putting my rebuilt trans back in)

I did it when replacing my hydraulics and it is TOTALLY worth it! Shifts are quicker and no soft pedal at all. With my old stock set-up you could feel the car pulling harder as the clutch finally engaged when driving hard. It was strange. Not it just hits with none of that ramping up feeling.

yes it is worth it, you will have to empty the fluid from the master. After you drill it and put the master back together you can fill and bench bleed the master so that once its all back in the car you dont have to bleed it again. The master should take about a small bottle of fluid.

I saw the dates too, but the thread was up here near the top. The last post said today on the main page, but April when I opened it. Just added my input in case it helps anyone.

I can not get my clutch acting right for the life of me. I got rid of the old dirty fluid that was in the resevoir that was boiled by the LT's. I wrapped my line and the fluid stays clear now. I guess the next thing on the list is to do the drill mod. I even had my clutch bled and it still gets soft during high RPM's.
