284 Clutch Bleeding Procedure?

if anyone can clarify how to bleed the clutch master on the 284 I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

I've had the whole system bone dry when I removed the accumulator, here is how I bled it.
I'm assuming you have the system fully assembled.

-Fill the reservoir, leave cap off.
-Remove airbox.
-Remove slave cylinder from trans case.
-Using your hands and some muscle bottom out the slave cylinder on the air box mounting plate.
-Allow the slave cylinder to extend, it'll draw fluid from the reservoir.
-Add fluid as needed to reservoir to maintain level.
-Repeat over and over and over until it takes no more fluid.
-Keep doing it until no more bubbles are visible in the reservoir when you bottom out the slave cylinder.

My clutch pedal has been perfect for years now after using that method. There is no bleeder valve on there as far as I know. Don't know if the master cylinder can be bench bled, but I don't know if it needs to be. The above method worked really well for me.

hey thanks. Sounds like something I can do prety easily then. I was hoping to change out the fluid.. but now its more im portatnt that I bleed the system as its just a pain in the ass to get into reverse. Plus I have to muscle the shifter for some gears.
