Hydraulic System Bleeding

NOTE: The hydraulic system on VIN G vehicles is a complete unit that has been bled of air and filled with fluid. Individual components are not available separately. On VIN A and VIN T vehicles the slave and master cylinder are connected by a quick disconnect fitting and can be serviced separately. Individual units are also prefilled and bled of air.
  1. Remove slave cylinder from transaxle, loosen master cylinder mounting nuts to end of studs, remove reservoir cap and diaphragm. Depress slave cylinder pushrod approximately 0.787 In. (20.0 mm) and hold while reinstalling diaphragm an cap on reservoir. Release slave cylinder pushrod. Hold slave cylinder vertically with pushrod down, repeatedly depress pushrod with short 0.390 In. (10.0 mm) strokes until air bubbles are no longer visible in reservoir.
  2. Reinstall slave cylinder on transaxle, tighten master cylinder mounting nuts and fill reservoir with fluid to be level with step. Check system by starting engine, pushing clutch to floor, wait 10 seconds then shift into reverse. If gears do not engage smoothly, system may still contain air, repeat bleeding procedure.
