There is no reason to. Back in the days they had separate is because different fluids were used. Now everything is the same.You mean the hyd clutch doesnt have it's own reservoir?

The system does self bleed,i just did mine 6 days ago and replaced the throw out bearing and plastic line with steeda line.To Op,best way to do this is to pump the pedal very slowly and slow up and down strokes,this stops the aeration.It will take about 40 mins to get all the air out but also depends on if u change your line and hyd throw out bearing..Just takd your time the first pumps u may want to use your hand so u can pull the pedal back up.U DONT have to buy bleeder pumps and their is no bleed fittings.Just takes a little time.No but you will want to try to bleed the system following the install. Use the correct pump to get it done.
Now I'm lost lol :lol:The system does self bleed,i just did mine 6 days ago and replaced the throw out bearing and plastic line with steeda line.To Op,best way to do this is to pump the pedal very slowly and slow up and down strokes,this stops the aeration.It will take about 40 mins to get all the air out but also depends on if u change your line and hyd throw out bearing..Just takd your time the first pumps u may want to use your hand so u can pull the pedal back up.U DONT have to buy bleeder pumps and their is no bleed fittings.Just takes a little time.
LOLThat description did sound like a xxx movie though LOL.
I will be changing the clutch cable to the Steeda braided one. To be honest (noob alert), I don't know what the throwout bearing is lol. Should be be changing that too?Are u changing your throwout bearing too.If so just bench bleed it,keep the line in a bowl of brake fluid,make sure to keep it submerged the whole time and just keep squeezing the bearing until all the air bubbles stop coming out.Its simple man if u run into snags shoot me a pm and i will help u out the best i can.Remember pump the pedal slowly.
Ok, now I am going to look for a vacuum pump lol.Vacuum pumps are awesome for brake bleeds FYI.
Also, I work for a clutch company (One of the big three). It's rare for a clutch to truly self bleed completely. There is always air stuck somewhere in the system. Even if its a small amount
Vacuum bleed for clutch. Pressure bleed for brakes! A clutch hydraulic system is inverted of what you find on a brake system. Normally you pump, brake the bleeder, then close the valve once you're to the floor. But the mechanics of the clutch master cylinder traps air when you do thatOk, now I am going to look for a vacuum pump lol.
I have a pressure pump for brake bleeding. In your experience, is there a difference or if one is better than the other (pressure vs. vacuum) for brake bleeding?
