[6pack] My Darned Clutch Slave

[dave n]

I discovered a couple weeks ago that you can bleed the slave on a tr6 without getting under the car.  you need a ratchet wrench with a a head that bends, and to lean way down through the engine compartment to the slave.  but its there, accessible, and you can do it!  you just need someone in the car to pump.  and having speed bleeders really helps!

Don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but it's nice to see some active conversation here, as we all emerge from winter hibernation. (haha)  

I know this is the SIX board, but it's amazing how different the slave experience is with the SPIT. With the tranny cover OFF, it's a super easy one-man job as the slave is absolutely 'right there' beside the gas pedal. Push the pedal with left hand, bleed the slave with right hand. But if the tranny cover is ON, it's a P-I-A to reach your arm/hand up around the drive-shaft or exhaust pipe (can't remember) to somehow hold the wrench between two fingers to bleed the darn thing. I really didn't think it was possible, but was determined to bleed it without removing the interior. 

carry on,
Sloane
