There are two spots to bleed. One is at the slave cylinder and the other is a spot in the engine bay area on the passenger side fender. Some say you can also bleed at the master cylinder too so this would make three spots. Get a jar and fill it like half way full and dangle a hose from the drain nozzle of these three spots and dangle it into the jar making sure the end is always submerged. Pump the hell out of the clutch pedal then have a buddy upen the drain valve on these three spots (one at a time) while you press the pedal to the floor slowly. Have him close the valve before you get there. He should see air going through the dangling hose. Repeat until you see no more air at any of the three spots.

Your welcome. Yeah, your car looks pretty sweet. I like everything but the rear lights. I really like the way they are stock. Just my thoughts, but its sweet what you have done. I really like the interior. Late

Yeah you're right, but the principle should be the same. I'm not at home at the moment, I'm in TN. So I couldn't bust out the owners' manual. There's one online, I'll see if I can find the proper link for it.

There should be a bleed port on the clutch operating cylinder located on the transmission and another bleed port on what the manual calls the “clutch piping connector” which is located on the right hand side of the engine compartment, near the front, above the wheel.

that's the advice I got so it sounds similar to what tsfreeflow advised. I was just wanting to find something more like a write-up to follow.

There!! Whew! I knew I'd find it. Sorry I didn't mean to step on your toes there tsfreeflow or to negate your advice. I'm just trying to help out.

I'd book mark the original site there guys. Plenty of knowledge to be had.
