GTV TS Clutch bleeding - how?

[Lone Granger]

How exactly do you bleed Clutch hydraulics on a 99 TS? - The Master cylinder seal is worn and I allowed fluid to get too low and pedal just flops to floor - will bleeding via slave nipple and using easybleed kit re-fill master and circuit ok? - I appreciate it wont fox the worn seal, however it works ok most of the time and cant afford to fix at the mo..

Yes, that's the way to bleed it...but I'd be worried it might fail when you least expect it.

Cylinders can be had for around £45 on ebay, not worth the risk imho.

The bleed nipple doesn't turn on the TS ... you pull out the feed pipe slightly but lifting the spring clip one notch. Then the fluid flows out.

Know what you mean about affordability .. gearbox out for one of those (I've got a '98 156 TS). My gearbox failed getting stuck in 2nd ... so while is was being replaced had a new slave fitted. Old one didn't have a lot of life left from the state of it ... but it had done 150,000 miles by then.

Bleed nipple's on the slave...which was on top of the gearbox on our 98 Spider.
