SOURCE: need to know how to bleed it

There would be a bleed nipple on it. It would be located near the bellhousing.
Open nipple a little let fluod seep out until no bubbles in it. Make sure you top the fluid up and dont let it empty.

SOURCE: I just had someone replace my clutch, master and

Loosen the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder and allow it to gravity bleed, with the cover off the master. DO NOT pump the pedal while you do this and make sure you don't allow the master cylinder to get run dry. Watch for bubbles coming out of the slave when you are getting a steady stream or steady drip, no air, tighten the bleeder. Now fill the master to the proper level, some have a full line down in the reservoir, put the cap on the master and try the clutch, you may have to pump the pedal a bit, maybe a dozen or two times, to get the clutch to work right. I've done it this way, lots of times, on all kinds of vehicles it seems to work for me. If it won't gravity bleed you may have to get a piece of clear plastic line that will fit snug on the bleeder and try to syphon it. Use clear plastic line so you don't get brake fluid in your mouth, you can see the fuild coming. You can buy that line at most hardware stores I suggest about 6 feet or so.

Testimonial: "It is working better I just have to pump it a few time before going into 1st gear. Once I get going it's shifts fine. Thanks!"

SOURCE: I have a 2003 Saturn ion and the clutch quit

The clutch master and slave should ALWAYS be replaced as one repair that said the slave is always the first one to fail due to heat, the reason both should be replaced is this, debris from the failed cylinder will ruin the new cylinder, I have learned this over the last 35 years as a dealer technician. The slave is a direct acting unit, that means it sits on the input shaft collar of the transmission and is also the release bearing for the clutch disk. The transmission must be removed to replace the slave cylinder, the parts are about $375.00 for both master and slave. If you have it done since the transmission is removed the clutch pressure plate and disk should also be replaced as well as having the flywheel refaced.
