RS'er

PLEASE help my baby is out there on jacks right now and my haynes manual isnt helping me at all. I need to bleed my clutch but I cant find the stopper to pull so I can drain my fluid...HELP!

I dont think there is such thing. Just fill the reservoir, then pump the clutch like 20 times. Check the fluid again.
That's what I did, and it worked for me.
HTH!

There was a bleeder fitting on my '87 IROC T-5 clutch slave cylinder. I believe I used a small allen wrench and found the fitting on the top or side of the slave cylinder down by the clutch fork. I'm pretty sure it was the top. I bled it like a brake line with my wife pumping the clutch pedal. I recall the fluid squirting safely to the center of the car. The fitting was small enough to overlook and may be covered with grease and grime.

Good Luck!

Phil is right!

I was trying to remember bleeding mine and having no luck 'til I read his post. you've gotta reach up and around the slave cylinder and stick the right size (?) allen wrench in there. there's a port that sprays the brake fluid out and it hits the oil filter and runs down into your hair (or drain pan if you plan ahead ).

since you're looking for a "plug" I'll fill you in on how to bleed incase you're unsure.
1. fill the reservoir (to the full line or so)
2. Open the bleeder valve.
3. Have someone else push the clutch pedal down and hold it. (push down SLOWLY for best results)
4. Close the bleeder valve
5. Have your helper let up on the pedal.
6. Check the fluid level in the reservoir every so often to make sure you don't run the master cylinder dry (as long as you have some in the reservoir at all times...all is well )
7. Repeat until you don't have any air trapped in the system.
