HELP... Brake bleed/Clutch bleed

[ApexedSS]

So i am going to be bleeding my brakes and changing to DOT4. I will be using the Motive Power bleeder and some ATE Super Blue.

I know the process and all that stuff in terms of brake bleeding. Now for the clutch, i want to just change fluid from the reservoir using a turkey baster and pumping the clutch 40-50 times.

My question is: Which do i do first... or Will the brake bleed be enough to change the clutch fluid?

Sorry, this sharing resivoir things is a little confusing... Probably will do the separate reservoirs soon...

Suck it dry, put clean stuff in, pump the crap out of the clutch 50 times, suck it dry, refill. Then start brakes. Its not perfect without using the bleeder by the clutch but gets you 95% of the way there.

Does sucking it completely dry bring air into the system?

Keep an eye on the lines on the side of the reservoir. Don't get air in them. Its more like 85% empty.

The turkey baster won't let you get all the way to empty anyways. I ended up using an attachment to my vacuum bleeder to get more out.

Awesome! Thanks for the help. I really dont think alot of 5th gen owners know about this stuff. Just the dedicated ones that love their Camaro. I LOVE Camaro5!!!

I bleed everything before every track day, I've gotten fast at that and pad swaps. One of these days I need to get a separate clutch reservoir but I bleed it so often I don't think it matters that much in my case.
