Also I did my Front brakes and Clutch flush earlier.
My clutch reservoir was real dirty and the bottom if the reservoir looked like it had algae growing in it lol. I had to give it a scrub with a clean nylon brush and fill/remove a few times to get the crap out.
Flush was easy after that. Took me a few min to realize the Shift linkage and rod had 2 dots that correspond to each other. I marked a line with a soap stone before I took it off and then accidently washing it off when I was wiping off all the dirt and oil while the cover was off.
Felt good to be able to get something done.

Hmmm. That was quite the sewer mvk24. Yea I'm not sure how lol. I'm very meticulous with my vehicles. I didnt have a leak that I know of but might be worth ordering a new gasket for the master cylinder. It really did look like there was a thin layer of moss or something on the bottom.GoldOxide_imp said:Hmmm. That was quite the sewer mvk24.mvk24_imp said:O0o0o thats Tev!

For anyone else looking for a photo of where the clutch fluid bleeder is i'll circle it.
Once you take off your Gear shift linkage (1 10mm bolt), you then remove the cover behind it thats being held on with 3 Allen key bolts.

Thanks again for all the help here. Took the plunge (pun intended) yesterday. Fluid was dark, but reservoir was pretty clean. Siphoned out enough of the old fluid, but not all to avoid the chance of air getting in. Attached Mity Vac to the bleeder, but due to the angle, had to keep a hold on the bleed hose there. Next time I'll make a 45 degree adapter and clamp the hose to the bleeder.
Gear changes seem a little smoother now.

Awesome glad it went well for you too.Wagonpeddler_imp said:
I just used the harbor freight/Pittsburg steel hand pump bleeder with the 45° angle but it didn't seem like it was a great fit so I had to hold it on also.

That is not the plastic cover you seek. This video by Terrence O'Keeffe is fun to watch once you get past the painful music and intro. Should answer all your questions.Nachodaddy_imp said:
Great Video. However, he forgot the fork oil change process. Outside of installing new shims, it’s a probably one of the mire intensive processes, especially if you have to replace the fork seals.
