speed bleeder for slave cylinder
 
Trying to get the wife to help bleed the clutch isn't going to happen. So I would to try out the speed bleeders.

Does anybody know what size of speed bleeders to buy for the slave cylinder?

Since it is not bleeding and you want one,why not just take the bleeder out and go to the store with it and compare?
Really Bleeding the clutch is not that hard.Monotonous at times but not hard.
Get int the SEC GEN Archives or Sec Gen Specific section and there are tons of threads on this subject.
Most scenarios is that the Clutch master has not been bench bled.
another thing to try is to have the slave OFF the trans and UP above the Master.(height wise)That way air will rise up to the slave.Just be careful not to pop the rd out of the slave.
Oh!Buy the wife dinner and maybe she'll help ya out!It's better to have one person pump,pump,pump,hold the pedal.second person crack bleeder,squirt,(pedal goes down,HOLD THE PEDAL)close bleeder...Repeat.

Thanks for the input. I was trying to lazy this out. I didn't want to take the bleeder screw out and drain all the fluid out I just put in.
It looks like I will take it out and try to match it at the store.

An alternative....one of those Motive Brake Bleeder kits. A bit more expensive, but I hear they work well. Guys that track regularly swear by them. I'm hoping to get it on a Christmas list myself.

This is what I use. A little on the expensive side but I didn't pay for it (Christmas gift from the wife a couple years ago).

I wonder if that would work in reverse?..to fill the trans?.That is a pain to do..smelly too.!
(put gear oil in contraption and FTTT!..Done!)
