To bleed the clutch, I did some reading here on nsxprime and watched a few youtube videos. I also used the service manual and this website http://www.c-speedr.com/howto/nsx/clutchmasterslave/nsx_clutch_master_slave_change.php.

I first removed the old fluid from the clutch master reservoir using a syringe that I had politely asked for at a pharmacy. I knew they give them out for free with kids medications, but I asked if I could purchase one. Surely enough, they gave me one free of charge! After I removed the old fluid, I used q-tips (aka cotton swabs, cotton buds) to remove the crud that accumulated at the bottom of the reservoir. I know I missed the corners but I didn't want to run into the house again, take off my shoes, take off my coverall, and wash my hands again to get toothpicks from my kitchen.



I cut a segment of an old hose that was used on my fish tank and attached it to the bleed nipple. I filled an empty water bottle with some brake fluid. The bleed nipple was rusted and I had trouble unscrewing it, so I got my dad involved. He pumped the clutch pedal but still no dice. I gently knocked on it with the wrench and it started flowing. I didn't use the gravity bleed method, instead I used the technique where one person pumps the clutch pedal, then holds it down. After the second person opens the bleed nipple to bleed and closes it while the pedal is still down. My dad also monitored the reservoir to not let it run dry and refilled when the fluid level was low. We did this until the fluid coming out of the bleed nipple was clear. Not sure if this was the right way to do it but the pedal felt firmer after the flush and I read that the system will over time bleed the air out - provided that there isn't too much air introduced into the system.
I didn't take any pictures while I was under the car because I had brake fluid dripping down my arms and into my coverall from the unexpected initial flow. It was dark out by the time my dad and I finished.


Here are the battle scars or battle bruises I should say? The whole process probably took 6 hours for both the transmission and clutch fluid from buying the hose to jacking up the car and moving the concrete blocks to underneath the four tires.
