How do you bleed the clutch? I replaced my clutch and master cylinder with the Z06 clutch. Now I have some chatter. I would assume it is because I never bleed the master slave. What is the process for bleeding the master slave.
Thanks for your help

Re: How do you bleed the clutch? Gravity Bleed is the best! I was just taught it about a month ago and tried it a few weeks ago. It works well. Not to mention it's the simpliest method and doesn't even require a second person.
Basically just crack the bleeder valve on the slave and then open up the cap on the clutch resevior. It will slowly pull fluid through the system and get rid of all your bubbles. Flush half or even a whole bottle of brake fluid through to be sure you got all the air out. Cap the bleeder valve on the slave(make sure resevior level is slightly low so you don't over fill it). Then refill your resevior and close it off. Pump the pedal 25 times or so and you're set. I thought it sounded too easy to believe, but it works. It's a little tedious to stand around for 1/2 an hour adding a little fluid at a time, but the end result is worth it.
