Clutch Fluid and Bleeding Process I did a lot of searching and reading and I couldn't find out the answer. I am wondering when you bleed you clutch fluid how many times do you need to bleed it before it is completely cleaned out? One small bottle or two of DOT 4????
I usually bleed it and refill the resevoir 3-4 times. That's more than enough to flush out the old and refill with new. It's a very small capacity system compared to the brake system. I like using Syn DOT IV fluid with a 500* boiling temp.
After bleeding it the first time I said screw lying on my back. I center punched the trans tunnel directly across from the 7/16 bleed valve. Pulled back the carpet inside and drilled a 1" hole thru the trans tunnel. Now bleeding is a one man job. When done plug the hole with a 1" rubber plug available at Lowes or Home Depot.
