Let's just say that the clutch bleed is best done with the use of a lift and the use of a VERY short 11mm wrench b/c tightening down the valve before you run out of fluid is darn near impossible since the wrench keeps hitting engine parts and can't get a good length of travel to tighten.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Here are 2 pics I took of my drivers side wheel well and was hoping somebody could direct me to the clutch bleed valve in the pics. Feel free to P-Shop an arrow or something to point it out.
Thanks!!!
If you crawl under the car and place yourself directly under the bell housing, the slave is located on the driver's side of the bellhousing where it is connected to the engine. There is a single hydraulic line going to the slave and the bleed valve is covered by a rubber boot.
It is the part of the transission that connects to the engine. It is not a seperate piece. It covers the clutch assembly. The transmission connects to the engine right in back of where the axles come out of the tranmsion case. I don;t have the actual picture, but below is the picture of my tramssion. It connects to the engine on the right side in the picture. The slave is located on driver's side at the point of connection, towards the top.
Here is a pic that I just took under the car. I didn't realize how far up inside I had to go to find this. Is it the black looking plastic cover left of center in this middle of this pic?
That's it. Just remove the cap and using an 11 mm (I think) wrench, just crack the valve open. Put a long hose on it and into a container so it doesn't spray all over you. You'll have to manually pull up the pedal when you are finished.
Then I need to let Loren know his DIY is incorrect. Obviously I have never bled the clutch slave myself so I would concede to you on this one. You wrong? Never.
As do I. I can't stand running back and forth between the car and workbench b/c I was too lazy on the outset! Hopefully, flushing the fluid and bleeding the clutch will alleviate my problem form this past week regarding my clutch pedal not returning and slipping RPM's.
For those interested in the outcome, I will post my results.
If you had air in the system, you may experience a little higher pedal now. I hate high pedals and since you are limited to how much you can mechanically adjust the clutch pedal height, I always introduce a bit of air into the system to lower the point of engagement.
Just did the clutch bleed:

Let's just say I did a full flush unintentionaly the first go round

Although this is not as good as a shop manual, the exploded views can help you understand the relative position and spatial relationships of parts.
