i believe there is a bleed nipple on the bellhousing & bleed it like you were bleeding brakes, unless youve got an eezi-bleed kit :y

Never done it but the common wisdom is to bleed backwards. Use an Eezibleed to force fluid into the bleed nipple.

The ONLY way to bleed it is a reverse pressure bleed.

The Vauxhall TIS states that too.

There's a long pipe run that traps air and can't be bled using a conventional method.

Get a pressure bleeder and an assistant with a turkey baster. Connect the pressure bleeder fluid feed to the bleed nipple on the side of the gearbox bell housing open the nipple and start getting the fluid out of the reservoir, it fills at a fair rate!

I have managed it using the Eezibleed in the normal direction but due to the large diameter of the pipe you really need to flush the fluid through to get the air out.

Once I had a working clutch it seemed to improve with use (but that may have been wishful thinking ::))
