Hey,

I have an 08 SS with a Stage 3 and aluminum flywheel. I bought it this way.
Everything works well but the clutch pedal engages very close to the floor.
I read that bleeding the clutch lines will fix that. I have not been able to
locate the bleeder valve or whatever it is that I need to find to bleed the clutch
so I can see if I can get the pedal higher. Is the bleeder under the fuse panel?
Any help would be appreciated or any knowledge on this subject that may help.

Thanks,
Tony

I belive it is under the fuse box - not familiar with myself, but I heard somewhere that is where it is located.

Looking down from the front of the car. Just below, and slighty left of the left front corner of the fuse box. There is a bleeder on the outside of the bellhousing. It should/may have a black rubber cap on it. It will have the small hydraulic hose that goes back to the clutch master cylinder
Not sure, but I think this is the only bleeder for the clutch hydraulics.
I might try to get a picture for you.

Sorry, but I s--k at taking pictures. The yellow circle shows the only bleeder that I know of.

Great. That is very helpful. I will give it a try.
Thanks.

I have the same issue. We bled the clutch slave cylinder the other night and it might be a little better, but not much. We did get a little air out of it. I am looking for an answer for this too.

Fast and easy is to vacuum bleed it. I think they're 30 bucks. Use the catch cup in between. (It does happen that someone will suck fluid right into the hand pump.) Take the bleeder completely out, make sure there isn't in blockage. Wrap electrical tape or Teflon tape around the treads (do not cover hole) and screw it back in hand tight. That will seal from the outside and allow fluid through the bleeder. Just vacuum away.

Keep adding in new fluid and might as well keep pumping till you start pulling in fresh fluid. Once you remove the bleeder, fluid will start run out, just remove the tape and install it back. It's a 9mm btw.
