I was doing some preventive maintenance on my '06, five speed GT this past weekend. I went to flush the brake and clutch fluid and couldn't find a bleed screw for the clutch slave cylinder. I had to settle for flushing the brakes, but there seems to be a pocket in the reservoir for the clutch that retained some of the old nasty fluid. I sure would like to flush the clutch.

If I am correct, I found the slave cylinder hydraulic connection at the top of the bell housing, but couldn't find a bleed screw anywhere.

Can anyone steer me to it?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Diabolical!

There is no bleeder for the clutch. I discovered that fun little nugget of knowledge when I changed my clutch. Not my happiest moment with the stang.

Thanks for the info nineinchnail.

This is REALLY disappointing. I expect that air can make its way out just by rising through the lines if they are arranged properly. The problem is flushing it. I have learned that flushing clutch and brakes every few years eliminates the need to ever rebuild any hydraulics. Without the capability to flush them I guess you're just destined to replace the throw out pack at one time or another.

BAD design IMHO!

Thanks again,
Doc

Recently contacted Ford for a replacement price since I was getting ready to upgrade my clutch and Flywheel. WHen they told me they didn't keep one on the shelf and couldn't remember ever selling one that was my indication that hte unit holds up pretty darn well. I respect your PM concept however, and do wish that there was an easy way to bleed the system out or flush it as you have mentioned.
