There is a bleed nipple on top of the gearbox. Hydraulic pipe goes from back of master cylinder, then drops down into top of gearbox via a rubber seal. Coming out of the seal is a second pipe which ends in a bleed nipple.
You bleed it just like the brakes, except you will need to pull the pedal up at the end of the strokes and take a lot more notice of the level in the master cylinder - its very small and the level goes down rapidly.

Also remove the rubber cap thats fitted inside so when your bleeding it through you can get more fluid in to assist bleeding. I fitted a new master cylinder at the weekend and drained and flushed all the gunk out of the system amazing how black it had become. There Eezi bleed kit's that can make it a one man or woman job. |
