I'm looking to flush my clutch system and replace it with new fluid this weekend, and just have a few questions on how to do all of this. Ive been having a few clutch issues lately and have been trying to diagnose it, so im starting with draining the fluid. I was told from another member that from fluctuating temperatures in the climate around here condenstation can build up in the lines. Anyways, could someone guide me towards some instructions how to do this?

From what i know, i need to disconnect the line from the master cylinder (dont know where that is, have to find it!) and let it run into a pale and then just fill it back up again? sounds pretty simple, but anyones advice here can help. thanks guys!

On the slave cylinder down near the header there is a bleeder valve. Attach a vacuum or some other sort of rubber/silicone hose to it that fits snugly. Open it up all the way (a couple full turns should do it). Put the end of the hose in a clear bottle with the bottom filled maybe an inch or so with fluid. Have a friend/wife/gf/gay lover/neighbor/local hobo pump the clutch pedal. While said human is pumping the clutch pedal keep the clutch fluid reservoir full of fluid. Do not let it get empty. Keep pumping until clear fluid comes out, it should start out brown and gross. If you do happen to let it get empty at any point you will have to continue until you get bubbles and then the bubbles stop. That is the easiest to flush the system. You can drain it out and put new fluid in, but its easier if you don't let air get in in the first place.
