Discussion
With the regular threads that pop up about spongy peddle,dirty fluid,difficult gear change
what are your thoughts about these remote bleed pipes i've come across:

I havent any issues as yet but the dirty clutch fluid does bug me and would like an easy option to bleed it myself without crawling under the car.
Is it something you could develop as a Kit?
do you think you would need to remove the gearbox to install?

From the info in the link, im not quite sure what they have done there!!!! In principle you could run the bleed back up to the engine bay. However, to replace the exsisting bleeder/bar i suspect (almost certain as i sit here on my sofa!) that the box would have to come out to install it, rather deafeating the object.
To be honest, there is lot of talk about the clutch fluid thing, but its not that hard to bleed, or at least not if its not been dismantled. Open valve, pump pedal while some one fills the resevoir, close valve. OK, its a 3 man job unless you have a pressure bleeder, but you get my point. It will be black again within the week whatever you do. So long as it works, why worry? Ive yet to find a car with clutch woes thats been fixed by bleeding the fluid.

Or 1 man, let gravity draw the fluid through.
Or an Easibleed, to pump the fluid through.
PITA to get at the bleed nipple either way though. By all means if the box is out, fit one though. Otherwise...leave it alone.
I personally have never had any clutch fluid problems. It gets a little dirty...but so what ?

Thanks for your thoughts
,If the box would need to come out I'll forget about it till/if the day arrives that the box is removed. Think it would be a nice improvement though for easy maintanance for those without a ramp
