i feel so dumb for asking this, but im about to bleed the clutch on my car, and i cant find the bleeder plug..where is it located exactly? im looking at the repair manual and it is also saying something about using an SST..what is an SST? what tools do i need to bleed the line? thanks! i guess it might be due to the lack of sleep ive been getting lately..darn work!

ive tried, but all i cant find any pictures of where to find it. ive found instructions on how to..but no pictures on where to find the actual valve.

okay, since no one is really helping me out much..i decided to go do something on my own to get this thing moving. so i checked out my car and here is a picture of what i think is where i need to put the vinyl tube to bleed my car. please help me and let me know if i am correct. and also, is that the nut i loosen to bleed my clutch? could i just use a regular wrench to loosen it?

poor pnyboy, lol. on the transmission you see the slave cylinder (just follow the lines down if you're not sure what it looks like. there should be a nut at the top (bleeder valve) that you can loosen. just loosen it enough so that when you press the clutch, a little fluid comes out. make sure the clutch master cyclinder cap is off. add fluid as needed unitill a steady stream comes out when depressing the line.

thank you! at least someone has been helpful. oh okay! so its under the car. so id have to lift up my car, and follow the transmission, find the clutch release to bleed the clutch. do i need any special tools? or are basic tools enough? from the sound of it, it sounds like all i need is a wrench to loosen the nut.

just a wrench should do the trick. i'll find you a link...

here's the link, if you had done a search for "clutch" or "bleed" in the sc300/400 performance (transmission) section, you would have found it right away. live and learn.
