Hi,
I rarely find any disagreement with Tool Pants, but in this case, the Clutch Pedal should be fully depressed and held while flushing the Clutch Hydraulics.
Putting pressure behind the Master when connecting the Power Bleeder will cause the Clutch pedal to be moved by this pressure possibly damaging the Clutch Master. Here is a Quote straight from the Dealer Service Manual :
- " Before the system is Filled, or Bled, the Clutch Pedal must be in the " Pedal Fully Depressed" Position.
IMPORTANT: Because there is no System Pressure, servo kinematic effects will cause the Clutch Pedal to move forward abruptly. In order to avoid damage, the Pedal must be guided manually. "
Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
