how to drain out entire clutch fluid?

is there a way for me to completely drain out the clutch fluid? i read a couple post where people basically just syphon then old fluid out from the reservior.. this only removes what in the resevior.

on my integra, all i had to do was remove a rubber cap from the slave cylinder. loosen one bolt, and let it all drain out. completly flushing out the fluid.

how do i do this on the G?

You'll have to bleed it afterwards. Anyway, on the G there's a similar valve but it's a huge pain to get to. Syphoning the reservoir repeatedly with pedal pumps in between eventually results in all new fluid and no need to bleed. It's easy and cheap so I'd just do that.

BTW I did that to my brakes as well and pulled out completely BLACK fluid from the center of the brake reservoir..... brake pedal feels much better now.

well, that way i did it, i didn't have the bleed it. i basically just loosen the screw just a little bit to let the fluid drip out slowly.

and with the new clutch fluid, i just poured it in the reservior when needed. once the i saw that the fluid was getting clear on the other side i just tighten up the screw and filled it up to max and that was it.

its a lot faster then the syphon method.

is there a diagram to where i can see where the slave cylinder is on the G?

Brake fluid for the clutch? Cool thanks man!

PS: I meant a pic of where the reservoir was. Just in case anyone had one.
