the words loosen and tighten should be reversed in step 3....this is mildly concerning.....definite typo there.
No, it's correct. You loosen it in step 2, depress the pedal to push air/gnarly fluid out, have an assistant tighten it, release the pedal; loosen it, depress the pedal...

that seems like it would be hard to understand for most...your supposed to build up pressure in the line...then relieve the pressure by loosening for a couple seconds and retighten. pump clutch to build pressure again and hold it to hold pressure in the line...loosen for a couple seconds and retighten. repeat until satisfied. why loosen first then manipulate the pedal.

I get what your saying but it doesnt seem to read that way. And I could see someone doing that terribly wrong lol

Has anyone done a gravity bleed yet? Or is it ideal to follow the manual. 1. Crack bleeder open. 2. Push pedal to the floor. 3. Close bleeder. 4. Pull pedal up. 5. Repeat?

Trying to do it by myself

I don't think I would trust just gravity. If you want to do it yourself, get a MightyVac. Don't get the little dinky handheld pistol shaped pump thing, ideally you would use the one with the big tank that you can suck all the air out of with a bicycle pump looking handle - it will give you a consistent vacuum that is much better for bleeding hydraulic systems

Does the power bleeder not work for the clutch line since they all come from the brake fluid reservoir anyway?

Where did you get this? Do you have any info on changing the transmission oil on a MT ? But yeah that’s for shearing that, great help !
There's a fill bolt, drain bolt and oil level check bolt. To access the fill bolt you need to remove your airbox and the rest are underneath. Make sure your car is leveled when checking/filling fluid or just drain into a measuring container and fill up with the same amount.

Anybody know what is the best way to access clutch bleed nipple? The intake hose and/or o2 sensor for the downpipe is in the way. I though about removing the o2 sensor clip to make room but unsure how these clips unhook

Just started doing this, myself, you gotta go from underneath. The bleed valve is right by the transmission.
