Clutch Bleeding - 96 LT4
Made the mistake of letting the resevior go dry while I was gravity bleeding my clutch last weekend. I tried the manufacturers recommended method to bleed it but I think they must have had the exhaust system removed to do it they way they said. (or been related to a magician!!)
Is there a more user friendly way to get the air out?

Re: Clutch Bleeding - 96 LT4 (Ken Jarosz)
Been there done that. I got great advice from "hrocks" and it has worked like a charm twice.
Put the car on flat ground, or at least make sure it's level. Close up the bleeder valve at the slave, and remove the master cylinder cap. Make sure the master cyl. res. is full and simply depress the clutch pedal. You will see the bubbles rise out of the line. As the fluid level drops add more. This should take all of 5 minutes.
