How many have bled the clutch line when changing clutch and how many have changed his/her clutch without bleeding the clutch line?

 

its advised to do so to make sure you have proper function of the clutch. air bubbles will lessen the pressure of the slave cylendar to disengage the clutch and can lead to chattering. dirty fluid will flow too easily and can compress thus reducing the hydrolic effect.

 

If you're changing the clutch might as well... it's not that much more work

 

agreed. bleeding the line is not a difficult job. It just takes patience and a helper. It is one of those little things that really pays off in both the short and the long run.

 

agreed id rather bleed brakes any day over a clutch took me 6 tries to get all the pressure back

 

does anyone if those "speed bleeders" exist for clutch line so bleeding the clutch can be a one person procedure?

 

I didn't bother to bleed the line in mine when I pulled the clutch. I just removed the slave from the tranny while keeping the clutch line hooked up. I didn't really see the purpose seeing how there were no air bubbles when I started. BTW, does anyone know which stainless clutch line to use for the SC300 5spd? Is it the same as the one used for the Supra 6spd? If anyone can post a link, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

 

you can gravity feed the clutch line since it is only a single line and no booster to it. just crack open the valve and open the cap to the clutch resevoir and just continue to top it off. the heavier more viscous fluid will push the thinner fluid directly out. takes me maybe 3 minutes to do the whole job.

 

I dont understand what is going on in illustration 2. Looks like the ABS unit.
