Richard, Will you forward any off-line (non-personal) replies to this query that you receive? I'm about to address a leaking clutch slave which will require bleeding when I repair or replace it. I have a Mityvac, the Bentley and Haynes manuals. I'll reciprocate with information/advice/caveats. Regards, Tom Hanlon Palm Springs, CA 84 Westfalia
