Mitsubishi Eclipse manual transmission clutch bleeding issue resolved by removing dust catcher from brake fluid reservoir on Mitsubishi Eclipse

Some Mitsubishi Eclipse owners report experiencing manual transmission clutch bleeding issues, which can be addressed by removing the dust catcher from the brake fluid reservoir. These problems stem from the shared reservoir tank for brake and clutch fluids, requiring a careful bleeding process similar to flushing brakes, where air and fluid are released through the bleeder screw until only fluid emerges. To effectively bleed the clutch, it is crucial to use the specified brake fluid and maintain the fluid level between the "MAX" and "MIN" marks throughout the process. Some users have found that removing the dust catcher enhances the bleeding process and ensures proper fluid flow, potentially resolving these clutch issues.
