Default Searched no cigar, CLUTCH BLEEDING HELP

My clutch engages in the first inch i push it in, all the way out from the floor. I talked with a guy named Butch lol, and he was saying that over time the lines get air in the them and need to be bled, and thats the key sign. there's no clutch slipping, but i know it's "near its wear limit" from the mechanic i went to when i bought it.

I got the hose (it's black thats all they had, no clear) and fluid that i need to bleed it with, but i cant find the bleeder valve! I'm pretty sure i know how to do it but help on the steps would be great to.

NE1 know how to DIY or done it before?

But the friction point is only like half an inch long.... there's no play at all, like no easeing it in or anything...

thanks man i was reading on another thread there's a manual that has more detail of where stuff is than the stock one that i have. NE 1 have it?

I've been searching google too but no luck. Might have to bribe a mech at the dealer to fill me in.

i'd try bleeding it and if that doesn't seem to help much, my guess is that your almost ready for that clutch service you spoke of. As the clutch disc wears it will get thinner thus requiring less pedal travel to disengauge it from the pressure plate/flywheel.
