Can you bleed a Clutch?
I have an '89 4x4 (302) with a 5 speed. It is getting harding to put into gear, and generally feels like the clutch needs to be bled. But, I can't find a slave cylinder or anyplace else to bleed from. Any thoughts?

The slave cyl is inside the bell housing.
Check two things BEFORE you start with the clutch.
1. Have someone pump the clutch and watch the firewall on the outside. They tend to crack and allow the master to flex too much.
2. Look inside the bell housing and at the slave cylinder. If it looks damp at all, you need a new slave cylinder. Bleeding wont help if you need a new cyl.
