Brake Fluid

The manuals also say you need to hold down the clutch pedal when bleeding the clutch. You don't need to do this unless you have just replaced the master cylinder.

Can you elaborate on how you do bleed the clutch then TP? I am doing this soon and need all assistence.

Tony, a little OT here, but on the 987 the brake fluid and the clutch fluid are a shared system, so both get done at the same time. Not sure about the 986 Boxster.

I just had mine done last month. The dealership charged about $150.

Same on a 986. The clutch bleed valve can be difficult to locate the first time ... blinkwatt posted a very helpful photo.
