    The above will bleed the line. But if you find your self with no Firm Pedal,yet no air bubbles either, then you need to bleed the slave/actuator. To bleed the clutch/slave/actuator:.... Top off the fluid, Put cap on (not tight), just covering the opening. Start the car/Vue, Keep car in neutral. pump pedal Full Strokes, for about 5 minutes.. You will feel pedal inside that time frame. Continue till pedal is firm. You do not need to Rebleed the air in the line.

How do I fill the slave unit of a hydraulic clutch 04 saturn

Fill the master, and bleed the slave, just like you bleed a brake system. Takes two people, and three are better.
Pump clutch. Hold down.
Open bleed valve on slave.
Close bleed valve on slave
add fluid to master.
repeat until no air comes out when you open bleed valve on slave.

How to bleed the clutch on a saturn 97

one way to bleed it is by pulling the piston like slave cylinder with the rod out of the transmission and by pushing the rod into the slave cylinder several times, make sure you have plenty of dot3 brake fluid in the clutch master slave before you do this. by pushing the rod into the slave cylinder it acts like doing a brake job it bleeds the air out into the clutch master slave cylinder and sucks in the break fluid getting rid of all air in the system. thats the only way to bleed those systems seeing as they are sealed systems

I cant get pressure to my clutch pedal in my 1995 saturn sc2. i changed out the slave cylinder and the clutch. I tried bleeding the slave cylinder, and still no pressure, why?

You cannot bleed these clutch hydraulics. They are meant to be a pre-bled sealed unit that you buy. You should never replace just the slave or the master. Buy them both and replace them as one unit which is already bled from the factory. Otherwise you will experience what you are describing.

Make sure you install the slave cylinder (into the transmission hole) first and then the master cylinder (pedal side) next and do not hook up the pedal until everything is installed.

If you take the slave out with the pedal attached it will extend the rod and ruin the hydraulics rendering them useless.

Bleed the clutch

No way to bleed the clutch system.You need to buy a clutch master/Slave assy from saturn.Comes completely full of fluid & ready to install.It has retainers to hold slave pin in place until fully installed.Once installed you push the pedal & you will hear a faint click which is the slave retainer breakaways relieving.No other way to bleed although aftermarket parts house will sell you individual pieces.hope this helps
