    Is it possible to bleed the F1 clutch while the brake fluid is under pressure with automatic brake bleeder attached to the brake fluid reservoir?

    No, the F1 clutch isn't part of the system and isn't filled with brake fluid.

    I thought the brakes and clutch shared the same fluid or is that only on the manual cars?

    Manual only. F1 clutch is operated by the F1 control unit and is filled with synthetic ATF.

    Thanks for the info Tim. Is there any way then to bleed a F1 clutch
    without the need for a SD2/3?

    Yes, it is covered in a thread somewhere. Be careful, if you introduce air, you could do more harm than good. If it's working now I'd recommend leaving it alone.

    I don't think so. Specially when you play with the 3 bolts on the actuator.
