I ran out of clutch fluid in reservoir. Is there a place to bleed the clutch line?

Good morning.

There is a bleeder screw on the slave cylinder down by the bell-housing.

The procedure is below.

If air enters the hydraulic clutch system, it will cause clutch dragging. This procedure must be performed when reservoir has been emptied, or if system has been disassembled.

1. Set parking brake.
2. Check level of clutch fluid in reservoir and replenish as necessary.
3. Connect a vinyl tube to bleeder screw and insert opposite end into a transparent container.
4. Pump clutch the clutch pedal several times, then hold pedal depressed.
5. Loosen the bleeder to release clutch fluid with air bubbles into the container, then tighten bleeder screw. Do not release clutch pedal until bleeder screw has been tightened.
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until no air is seen coming out of vinyl tube. During bleeding operation, ensure reservoir is kept full at all times.
