ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a clutch bleeder tool assembly to force air bubbles from a clutch hydraulic control assembly of a standard vehicle transmission. The clutch bleeder tool assembly includes an adaptor cap to replace the factory cap on the hydraulic fluid reservoir of the clutch assembly. The adaptor cap has a hose attached at one end to the adaptor cap. The other end of the hose is attached to a bulb pump having a check valve. When the bulb pump is operated a positive pressure is maintained in the fluid reservoir. The hydraulically closed clutch hydraulic control assembly is opened at the slave cylinder to allow air bubbles to be forced out, so that proper operation of the clutch hydraulic control assembly is maintained when the hydraulic fluid reservoir is filled and the factory cap is reinstalled.
