Clutch Linkage: Service and Repair
The factory installed hydraulic linkage has a quick disconnect at the slave cylinder. This fitting should not be disconnected or tampered with. The
hydraulic linkage is serviced as an assembly only, but it comes as two pieces to ease installation. Once the clutch hydraulic line is connected to the slave
cylinder, it should not be disconnected. The individual components that form the linkage assembly cannot be overhauled or serviced separately.
"Chrysler does not provide a procedure to bleed the clutch hydraulic system".
