mity-vac clutch bleeding...in reverse
so i've got a mity-vac....and i'm puting new hydrolics in the car this week.
i've done some reading and heard a few people suggest that the vacume from t he pump can damage the seals in the hydrolics.
i was planning on trying anyway...since MANY people have had great success. i was definatly gonna keep the vacume low to prevent damage.
then i got to thinking. what if i used the pump from the other end? put the pump on the bleed valve on the side of the slave cylinder. obviously i'd need to do this prior to fully installing the trans, but seems like it would work...at least partially.
any input?? could i draw all the fluid down through the MC, hydrolic line and slave by drawing vacume on the bleed valve?
