A quite ingenious way to bleed the clutch

Of course, the question I have is if this would work with the shared reservoir our cars have.

I see no reason why it wouldn't work as long as you had a turkey baster to make sure you didn't overfill the reservoir. That said, I think there is nothing better than the Motive Power Bleeder. You'll never have the problem he describes. Best $50 you can spend.

kinda seems to do the same thing as disconnecting the slave and depressing the piston, i did this and it worked there might have still been some air in it but if felt great. i pumped forever and blead alot of fluid through and couldn't get any pedal, but the depress the slave method worked instantly

Wow, BMP is good for something.

I like this. I'm going to go buy a pump oil can tomorrow.

The Porsche master tech I know told me about this and I did try it...and it does work. But don't buy the cheapest oil can as they make a mess with brake fluid. It's the easiest method I know, other than removing the slave from the bell housing and depressing the slave rod while opening the valve covered in other write ups here.

I like the method of just pushing the rod in the slave with it disconnected from the trans. It has worked the best whenever I have done it that way.

i like this method a lot, just wondering, would this also be a good idea to do with the brake system? seems to make it a one man job instead of two

I, too, vote for the Motive bleeder.

Anyhow, this is nothing new. This has been on the market for dozens of years: http://braketools.com/max-pro-brake-bleeder.html

Works great! I have been doing it this way for years. The last time I did it, I used a very large syringe I bought from a tack store instead of the oil can.
