I went to bleed the clutch on the commodore today (VYII SS 6sp Man), but I cant find the slave cylinder!!
There is a hydraulic line that goes inside the bellhousing, which i assume is feeding the slave cylinder....I cant even see the clutch fork!
It appears that everything is inside the bellhousing - but How the F@#$ do I bleed the line?????

with difficulty, the slave actually runs behind the thrust bearing, if you look at the top of the passenger side of the gearbox there is a hole at the top, where the bleed screw is, it sits a bit inside the bellhousing but you should be able to feel it, its a 11mm hex head which you need to loosen to bleed, best to do it with a quarter drive deep socket, hope this helps

Thanks for that wild - so is that the hole that the hydraulic pipe goes in?
So do you loosen it, the put the bleeder hose on?

Sounds like a nightmare, and you would have to ask yourself WHY? :fool:

Yea mine is actually in holden today getting a leak fixed. Apparently there is a fix for leaky cylinders, so if you are playing around that area make sure you do the fix. cos i can assure you its a pain in the ass trying to drive without the clutch in these new motors.
The computer keeps the revs up when changing gears, apparently to help keep gearchanges smoother. makes gearchanges take a long time when not using the clutch.
