How'd you bleed the clutch? I'm planning on doing it the old manual way where you need 2 people.

I'm not trying to vacuum bleed method, that **** kills our slave cylinders.

 

Yeaaa guess nobody has done a clutch swap yet.

 

Somebody please write a how to bleed the clutch! I need to do this and I am sure it would help a lot of other members.

 

Its really easy.
you need 2 people, and a 10mm open end wrench

1st- Click on this http://www.gmperformancedivision.com...SJ_Chap5&6.pdf and go to page 19 thats the hydraulic clutch slave distribution block, this link will show you how to get there. The hydraulic clutch slave distribution block is located on the drivers side above the bell housing.

2nd- On the hydraulic clutch slave distribution block there is a bleeder, there is an arrow pointing to it in the picture in that link. Take a (i think 10mm) open end wrench and loosen the bleeder screw.

3rd-Have the other person pump the pedal a few times until fluid squirts out then they should hold the pedal down. While the pedal is pressed down, tighten the bleeder screw.

4th- Repeat previous step until you have good clutch pressure. then make sure the screw is tight and the cap is back over the tip of it. Any questions feel free to PM me.

 

that is some good info, i thought its gonna be different than a regular car since it shares the reservior with the brakes system.

 

easey way. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/how-guide-43/how-flush-clutch-brake-hydraulic-system-164547/

when it comes time to repalce the clutch im want to do a custom stand alone system for the clutch. master cylender , resivor ,line, slave cylender.

 

i thought a vac bleeder was required... guess not. good news if this is so.

 

I used the 2 person method and it worked well except for the wiring harness that was in front of the screw that made it impossible to get a tygon hose on there to watch for the bubbles to go away.
