Hello. What do I need to bleed my 2007 manual clutch?

Welcome to the forums!

You'll just need to pop off the line at the throwout bearing inlet line itself at the transmission side and let it gravity feed. You can take the cap of the brake reservoir if you like to help it do that. It will naturally drain out and when it runs clear new fluid (assuming you've done the rest of the brakes on that, by the way, and have swapped out all other fluid) you can then just pop the line back on.

You can alternately get one of those brake vacuum guns with a little reservoir in the middle... like this as a suggestion:

Stick one of those tapered ports in the hose end and suck the fluid out until it's clear, then pop the line back on as above. You might want to use this on the throwout bearing inlet line too, but I'd think it not all that necessary... You do you on that.

Either way, be sure you don't let the reservoir run dry, that's not helpful. And then after doing either there will still be air in the system anyway. Can't be helped. There's no bleeder down there to fix it. The thing to do is to just get in the car after everything is buttoned up, the brake reservoir topped off and it's ready to go otherwise... and you just push in and release the clutch about 50 or so times. That should get the air to burp out and that's it. The exact method as described in the shop manual.

So there ya go. Hope that helps!
