Without Bleed Screw

PROCEDURE
1. Remove the hydraulic actuator cylinder from the transaxle.

2. Loosen the clutch master cylinder mounting nuts to the ends of the studs. Do not remove the master cylinder.

3. Remove the reservoir cap and diaphragm. Clean dirt and grease from the cap to ensure no foreign substances will enter the system.

4. Depress hydraulic actuator cylinder pushrod approximately 20.0 mm (0.787 in.) into the actuator cylinder bore and hold.

5. Install the diaphragm and cap on the reservoir while holding actuator cylinder pushrod in.

6. Release the actuator cylinder pushrod.

7. Hold the actuator cylinder vertically with the pushrod end facing down. Actuator cylinder should be lower than the master cylinder.

8. Press the pushrod into the actuator cylinder bore with short 10.0 mm (0.390 in.) strokes.

9. Inspect reservoir for air bubbles. Continue until air bubbles are no longer entering the reservoir.

10. Install the actuator cylinder on the transaxle.

11. Install the clutch master cylinder mounting nuts and tighten evenly to 21 Nm (16 lbs ft).

12. Inspect the fluid level in reservoir. Fill reservoir with hydraulic clutch fluid GM P/N 12345347 or equivalent DOT 3 fluid.

13. Start the engine and push the clutch to the floor. Wait ten seconds and select reverse gear. There should be no grating/grinding of gears. If so, hydraulic system may still contain air. If this is the condition, repeat bleeding procedure.
