Hydraulic Clutch Bleeding

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Never use fluid that you have bled from a system to fill the reservoir. The fluid may be aerated or contaminated.
  1. Fill the reservoir with new brake fluid. Use Brake Fluid GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667) or the equivalent.
  2. Depress the clutch pedal (hold the pedal down).
  3. Open the bleed screw on the clutch actuator cylinder in order to expel the air.
  4. Close the bleed screw then release the clutch pedal.
    IMPORTANT: Ensure no air is drawn into the clutch system.
  5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until all the air is out of the clutch system.
    1. Check and refill the reservoir as needed while bleeding.
    2. After bleeding, pump the clutch pedal several times. If the clutch engagement is not satisfactory, repeat the bleeding procedure.
