Usually this is a two man job, but it can be done by one by doing the following: Get a piece of clear quarter inch PVC tubing, about 2-3 feet long. Place tube over bleeder valve outlet. Put other end of tube into a clear water bottle that has been thoroughly dried. Fill water bottle with about 2 inches of clutch fluid, enough to cover the end of clear tube. Now, open the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder a quarter to half turn. Open clutch master cylinder reservoir and top off. Now place the bottle with the tube in it in a place where you can see it from the drivers seat. Now slowly pump the clutch pedal as to not whip up air bubbles into the clutch fluid. Now keep an eye on your clutch fluid level throughout the process. Never let the clutch reservoir run dry, or you will have to do it all over again... what we are trying to do is watch for air bubbles in the fluid that moves from the slave cylinder to the water bottle via the clear tube. Once there are no more air bubbles in the clear tube, close bleeder valve. Repeat if necessary.

If there is not bleed valve for the coolant you will have to do it manually. Fill the radiator up and start the car. After it warms up the coolant level will drop, refill it.
Cut it and let it bleed =)
There is no clutch fluid reservoir on a 1997 Probe. On this car, it is the same as the brake fluid reservoir.
Clutch master cylinder reservoir.
Yes
First you need to make sure that all the air is bleed out of the slave cyinder. Then to adjust the point at which the clutch will engage, tighten or loosen the pushrod nut. It will be near the clutch pedal on a little rod between the firewall and pedal (the pushrod).
i am trying to bleed the clutch of air, i need to find the brake adjustment hole cover and open it before releasing the bleeder valve, BUT I CANNOT FIND THE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT HOLE COVER ON THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER, HELP?
I have an automatic. But (usually) The Slave Cylinder is on the transmission, easily accessible and easy to replace. It's a small thing on the transmission (usually) with a rubber boot with a piston inside. Have to bleed the clutch master cylnder as well. -CE
Its not bad, but if you've never done it before, go get a repair manual form an autoparts store. You will need to know what you are doing when you bleed it.
im sure this is on the clutch pedal itself.
cant its hydraulic if the clutch slips its time for a new 1
