I am about to thave a DSM shop install my ACT clutch. I have read a few posts about bleeding the ACD. Shiv post a comment saying take it to the dealer and have them bleed it. Then I read this page http://www.btrprep.com/e7_qa.htm. I also see that AMS bought the $5000 Mitsu tool to bleed the ACD. So what should I do? Can you really bleed it yourself with no problems? I just dont want to mess up my new Evo. I only have 8K miles on it.

Thanks in advance!

we pinch the line on the top of the t case and then with the bleed valve open, drive the car on the lift in 2nd gear pressing the ACD button every 10 seconds or so to activate the pump until fluid comes out. Works for us

Also, you can turn the key to the ON position and hold the gas pedal down for 3 or 5 sec (I forget exactly) while doing this. You will hear the pump come on but this way will require 2 people since one must be under the car opening and closing the valve.

This is what I did, seems to have worked fine.

Why bother with all of this??? Its just not necissary to remove the line when doing a clutch. If you dont remove the line, you DONT have to bleed!!!! So tell your shop NOT to remove the line!!!

That sounds good. Its it a big pain in the A$$ to take out the tranny without removing the line from the ACD?

Thanks!

PITA???? Not at all. Just use a little common sence and a highly qualified mechanic and he should figure it out in less than 5 minutes. Doing it this way adds 15 minutes to the entire job!!! Look, here is how i do it. I take out the 5 TC bolts that are easy. Then the one behind the banjo, i loosen it and walk the tc out as i keep loosning it. walk...loosen....walk....loosen then it comes out....line and all. When re-attaching the TC to the tranny....walk tighten....walk tighten....walk tighten and insert the other 5 bolts and tighten all 6 evenly. Ive done about 20 clutches and find the 6speeds no different than 5 speeds. They are all easy, just time consuming to do right. Tiltons suck.......but thats for another thread..... ray
