    Dear Ferraristi,

    I want to bleed my brakes on my 91 TR. How do I bleed the clutch? I have one of those Mity-Vac tools for the brakes. Do I treat the clutch bleed screw the same as the brakes? Attach the vac to the bleed screw, open under vacume and keep filling the master cylinder?

    Please let me know. :)

    It should work, but be very careful to keep the reservoir full. The clutch takes its fluid from about half way up the brake reservoir, so if the level drops it's easy to suck air in.

    It's probably best to give the pedal a couple of pumps at the end, to ensure no bubbles are trapped.

    The pedal should have no slack at the top of it's travel afterwards, and it should bite well off the floor, approx half way up.
