Which Motive Pressure Bleeder Adaptor for our ZL1/Z28 MC reservoires?2

Hi Folks,
I am going to pressure bleed the hydraulic clutch on my 2015 Z28 and I was wondering if anyone has experience doing it with the Motive Pressure Bleeder system. I particularly need to know the correct Motive adapter to use on the master cylinder of our 5th gen Camaros (I am assuming they all use the same MC on all the manual cars). Thanks, Kevin

I don’t know if the Z28 uses a M6/MG9, so don’t know what the slave cylinder is but I would guess it’s a standard bleeder valve. I use a Mtyvac which comes with an assortment of hoses, but it’s a standard bleeder nipple.

It’s a bear to get the nipple open inside the trans which is the reason I installed an extended one man bleeder from Monster.

Same MC on all manual cars. Bleeding clutch on lift and offset wrench with bleed tube/catch bottle is doable on lift. I use motive for all my cars. GM adapter I use is the metal one.

I need to do this on my Z/28. Any way to keep the brake fluid from dribbling into undesirable cavities on/in the transmission? I'm stressing over corrosive fluid eating away at expensive components.
