How to bleed clutch after gt2 slave conversion?

Hey guys, as the title says, I'm wondering how I should go about bleeding the clutch given that I've done the gt2 conversion. I have a motive power blessed. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

Easiest way is to fill the reservoir with dot4 and use the air of the power bleeder to force the fluid through. Just make sure the reservoir doesn't go dry before you refill it. This way your bleeder will stay clean and you won't get air in the line.
Also do yourself a favor and get a hose that fits the bleed screw of the slave. That you can use to drain into a bottle instead of the ground.
But flush the hell out of the line with dot4, if there's any risidual pentosin in there it will be clean. But I'm sure you did this before you installed the master and slave.

Cool, thanks! So there is a bleed valve on the slave? Is it pretty accessible from below? Thanks again. Scott.

Yes, reach above the transmission and feel for the end of the slave (it's a small rod off the very back of the slave) if I remember correctly its a 8mm wrench, it's small anyway you won't miss it. Get a hose to fit over the bleed screw so it doesn't go everywhere and have one guy monitor that the fluid in the reservoir so it doesn't go empty before you top it up to keep air out and one guy to tighten the bleed screw after all the fluid fills the line. Then just top up the reservoir put the cap on and test the pressure by depressing the clutch pedal.

Just like gearhead said. Here is a pic. Mine used a 7mm wrench.

fwiw the long clear hose used in Autozones $2.00 syphon pump fits the gt2 bleed valve perfectly. I agree with gearhead to just use the air from the motive bleeder. 10 psi was more than enough pressure. Just keep a close eye on the reservoir fluid level; it's small so it drains really fast.

FWIW, i just did mine yeserday and mine was a 7mm bleed valve. I used the pump to push the fluid through. i pumped it up to about 10psi and then opened the valve. keep a look out for the level in the reservoir.

My 04 TT has a power assisted slave. Anyone have pics of that?
