Re: Who sells mityvacs????

Bought mine at my local Sears, I HIGHLY suggest using one for bleeding the clutch. It was $30, and took me 30 seconds to bleed my clutch.

Re: Who sells mityvacs????

Semi-off-topic: I'm assuming it would be pointless to use one of those for bleeding my clutch if I have a Tick Performance speed bleed one-way check valve? I'm used a mityvac to bleed my brakes but never have used one for clutch fluid.

It would be hard to be easier than the Mity Vac way. It took me a little longer than 30 seconds, but it was mess-free and didn't require being in two places at the same time.

Re: Who sells mityvacs????

I never even used the bleeder on the slave cylinder, i just used the mityvac and it works perfect. Here's the write-up I followed:

The reason I asked is because you don't have to be in two places at once with the Tick bleeder either. You just open the valve which is connected to a long line that you feed up into the engine compartment, then push on the clutch pedal a few times until there is no more air, then close up the valve.
