Tick remote bleeder line for clutch question.
I had a remote bleeder line installed when I swapped motors. I'm almost positive the mechanic didn't use a tick one instead using a line with a bleeder nipple at the end like you find on brakes. Are all of those valves made to be one way?
Reason I ask is because me and a friend flushed my system today and we used the conventional way of pushing the clutch in, pop the valve, close the valve then pull the clutch back to resting position and repeating while keeping the reservoir full. Was I doing unnecessary work?
Thanks

If you had a tick speedbleeder installed, that is exactly how it is supposed to work It is a one way valve, so you open, bleed as normal, and then close when the air is out.
