    Default M60 Clutch Bleeding?

    I know the typical routine, do all four brakes and then the clutch bleed, but how do I address the seperate clutch reservoir? Do I leave the pressure bleeder on the main reservoir to do the brakes AND the clutch, or do I swap it to the clutch reservoir to bleed the clutch? Thanks for the help, I couldn't find anything with a search.

    if you are just swapping fluid gravity will do the job fine, suck the old fluid out of the reservior and fill with clean then just open the bleeder and let it flow

    Thanks winfred. Should I do this in conjunction with the pressure bleeder on the brake reservoir, or will just gravity suffice for getting the bubbles out? I suspect that I have air in the system and need a bleed, the clutch has an inconsistent feel to it.

    a pressure bleeder wouldn't hurt anything, but if it's flowing well gravity is usually enough
