I'm having problems with keeping the hydraulic clutch line in the fitting on the transmission. When I go to bleed the clutch line, it pops out of the transmission, and I went and bought a new one and reinstall it, but I'm still having the same problem when I pump the clutch the pressure builds up and it pops out.

Hello RAYA.K,

I am adding the bleeding procedure from GM for you. Looks like there is a bleeder screw on the left side of the transmission. You will need an assistant to help with this.

Thank you,
Brendon

Hello RAYA.K,

I actually just found this Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) on and Improved Bleeding Procedure. It applies to the Hummer H3 but I think there is a lot of helpful information in it regardless of the model it is for.

I have added it below for you.

Thank you,
Brendon
