Position the slave cylinder push rod downward. Route the hydraulic tube upward as straight as possible toward the master cylinder so that the
air can flow freely to the fluid reservoir.
7. CAUTION: Do not allow the clutch master cylinder reservoir to run dry.
Purge the air from the clutch hydraulic system.
^
Push the push rod slowly into the slave cylinder until it bottoms out the piston. Hold the push rod in this position for five to ten seconds to
allow all trapped air to rise through the system. Very slowly, so that air is not drawn back into the slave cylinder, release the push rod (the
spring in the slave cylinder will force the piston outward). Wait five to ten seconds for the air bubbles to rise. Repeat this process until all air
purged from the system. Verify that the fluid in the reservoir is free of air bubbles.
8. Install the slave cylinder.
^
Compress and twist the slave cylinder to lock it onto the transmission.
9. Connect the clutch hydraulic tube to the floor pan clip.
10. Lower the vehicle.
11. Slowly depress and release the clutch pedal five to ten times to bleed any air still trapped in the system. Verify that the fluid in the reservoir is free
of air bubbles.
12. Verify that the fluid level in the reservoir is correct, and install the cap.
