clutch flush
I've read Xvipers DIY on this but I had a quick question on this procedure for the one man job. I can't seem to find a helper for this job and the shops around here scare me because most of them don't even know what a clutch fluid flush is. The only place that knew what it was wanted to charge $100...WTF?!
Since the clutch doesn't come back up on it's own, is it possible to open the bleeder valve, get out from under the car, push the clutch in, get back under the car, close valve, pull the pedal up, and repeat? Would this allow air to enter the system in that second or two transition?

Wait so you can change the fluid without actually bleeding it? Or were you trying to say you also used the pump to push fluid up through the bleeder valve?

just do the gravity bleed technique and keep adding new fluid as gravity and a 10-12" rubber hose drain out the old... once you see new fluid in the hose... you are done.
