Manual Bleeding

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE: Do not reuse the fluid that has been bled from a system in order to fill the clutch master cylinder reservoir for the following reasons:
  1. The fluid may be aerated
  2. The fluid may be contaminated
  3. The fluid may contain too much moisture
IMPORTANT: Maintain the fluid level in the clutch reservoir to the top step with DOT 3 hydraulic fluid.
  1. Clean dirt and grease from the cap in order to ensure that no foreign substances enter the system.
  2. Attach a hose to the bleeder port on the clutch actuator assembly. Submerge the other end of the hose in a container of DOT 3 hydraulic fluid.
  3. Depress the clutch pedal quickly to the full depressed position.
