The slave was replaced by PCM but then the master gave way a few days later so i'll be doing that but have to bleed it at the slave end anyway.

Suggestion
I have had a Motive for years and it has been used for brake and some clutch bleeds on everything from my 74 105 split braking system Alfa, which was only thing that would get a good pedal on that car, to old pommy TVR`s and Scimitar`s, 3.2 carrera ,64 Ford thunderbird, home built clubman , motorbikes ,Audi A6, Pajero and 993.Without doubt one of the best garage accessories money can buy,and it actually works.

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.

Hey all,
Anyone use a Motive Power bleeder to bleed their clutch system?
I'm going to replace my clutch master cylinder soon so i'll need to bleed the clutch system. Over in the US Motive seems to be the product of choice, haven't found it easy to find one over here, anyone ever used a similar bleeding product?
Anyone have any experience in bleeding their clutch system on a 996/986/997/987 with a decent tool? Not really interested in doing it by hand i'd prefer to invest in a tool, they aren't that expensive.
Used one on 964 brakes, imagine it'd be much the same on anything else.
my old man bought this one for his Merc's from FCP euro -
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/power-brake-bleeder-motive-mot0100
Got mine from FCP too - very good on postage rates compared with Pelican and Paragon. Used to good effect on 2x 944S2 clutch bleeds - ask Jason and Justin. Save yourself a bit of time and partially bleed the M/C before you screw in the hard line to the slave...
Thanks all, the motive is the one i'm looking at also, there is an Australian supplier in NSW listed on the motive website but the website doesn't exist anymore.
The slave was replaced by PCM but then the master gave way a few days later so i'll be doing that but have to bleed it at the slave end anyway.
First step i'll do is remove all the fluid from the reservoir below the feed line to the master, remove it and replace it. Then ill do a positive pressure bleed at the slave with the motive.
I couldn't find one local when I did my 986.
I bought a large 60ml syringe from the horse place and vacuum tube from repco. Cleaned the bleeder on the slave, and pushed the fluid in through it. Fill the master half or so first One full syringe was enough. They were 60c for two.
Keep in mind that the bleeder will twist shut if not open enough, but you don't want it so far open that it leaks out the thread.
I know it's not worthy of the Porsche, but it works. Car back on the road same day ?

@dan_189
it will be almost impossible to bleed the clutch system without a power bleeder
I replaced my clutch master cylinder last week on my 996 cup
This is the bleeder i have & use
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SP-Tools-Brake-Clutch-Pressure-Bleeding-Kit-SP70809-/251932102617?_trksid=p2385738.m2548.l4275
works very well for clutch & brakes... available in Australia
Just follow the factory procedure to bleed the clutch system after component replacement
Thanks all, definitely need one as I'll be doing the clutch master cylinder soon. Good to hear some positive re-enforcement regarding power/positive pressure bleeding
