  • bleeding the clutch

    I have a remote bleeder up on the fire wall. I also have a vacum pump bleeder. Do I just hook the pump up to the valve. Or do I have to pump clutch peddle to bleed it. And what should I use in it? dot3 brake fluid

    I used a vacuum pump bleeder and had to pump the pedal a few times to ensure the system was bled. I'm not familiar with the remote bleeder.

      When the Textralia clutch and flywheel was install they also put in a remote bleeder by the master cylinder.

        some of them have the self bleeder. you crack it open and a spring closes it. you just get in and pump the pedal.
        not sure if yours does though.
        if not, open it and pull a small vacuum on it. close and pump the pedal a few times and vacuum it again

          it had a check valve. Didn't need the power bleeder, but it made it easy to clean up. However that didn't fix my problem.

          Some times its hard to get into 1st and 3rd. could it be the 5.0 shifter or some thing internal?
