the brake and clutch system share hydraulics...there is a bleed screw on the top of the clutch slave cylinder...if you have as little "fire wall"  left as  i, it is easily accessed via the engine compartment.

the unit didn't work quite right and I went with the "partner" method of
brake bleeding.

We'll the brakes work great but I have to double pump the clutch sometimes
to get it in first gear or to get another gear. Sometimes, but not always.

Is there a chance of air in the clutch cylinder introduced from me running
the system so low? or does it (air) work itself out on such a system? or is
there a bleeder value for the clutch?

Any comments and a point in the right direction would be appreciated. I do
not have my Bentley around at the moment.
