Subject:      Bleeding Brakes & Clutch?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

This weekend I am changing my back brake pads and am planning on replacing the brake fluid while I am at it. The Bentley manual gives amounts of fluid to drain out of each cylinder but it doesn't mention anything about the clutch system. Am I correct that the brakes and the clutch share the same fluid and I should have to drain some from the clutch cylinder also? Which order should I bleed the clutch in? After the two rear brakes or what? I don't have a pressure bleeder or any of that nice stuff so would I bleed the clutch the same old fashioned way as bleeding the brakes? The Bentley doesn't say much about the clutch system and the two together so I figured someone might have experienced this themselves and could help me out. Thanks. Tim Vogelin 84' Wolfsburg.
