Bleeding clutch fluid

["Joe Thome" <joethome@xxxx>]

Dear list members,

I'm getting ready to refill and bleed my hydraulic clutch fluid. I'm doing this because my clutch was not relasing and I found my fluid reservoir empty but no signs on the garage floor of leakage. As I understand the procedure, I am to attach a hose to the fitting on the slave cylinder on top of the transmission bell housing. If this is correct, does anyone know the inside diameter of the hose to use for this bleeding operation? If this is not the correct procedure, would someone please tell me what the correct procedure is? If this is the correct procedure, can I do this procedure by myself by simply putting the end of the bleeder hose in a container with DOT #4 fluid and pumping the clutch pedal myself after filling the reservoir inside the front storage compartment near the gas filler pipe?


I thank whoever responds for your help.
