bleeding clutch hydraulics
I know this sounds stupid, but I can't find the clutch slave cylinder so I can bleed the system. I would assume it's mounted on the transaxle but I didn't see it anywhere... Once located, is there anything unique about the procedure I should be aware of? I just bled the brakes and in the past have done this on hydraulic clutch systems in several other cars. Thanks for any help... Brian

I pop the vacuum line off the brake booster and swing it out of the way. I slide my hand down the back of the motor to the torque tube and reach the bleeder screw. With a flashlight, you can see it from the top just barely. I do it from the top with a helper working the pedal. From the bottom is near impossible for me. Hope this helps.
