I have 97 S-10 Blazer with 5-speed (NV 3500?) that was replaced in 2001. It's shifthing hard when it's hot(summer here in Colorado). Locals here suggested that I replace Clutch Master Cylinder. So I did that but now I'm trying to Bleed the system. The Haynes manual simply says to attach a hose to the Release valve on the left side of the Clutch Housing. So there I go under the Truck and I look and there it was not there. The Hydraulic? line from the master cylinder goes right into the Clutch Housing. I fear that I have to take the tranny out to bleed the system. Has any body done this Before? Help?

 

Maybe you could check with a local mechanic. The dealer service department, even the parts counter may be able to get you a print out of where the parts are located and a short speech on how to do it yourself??? But they should be able to get you into the right direction, at least better than Haynes. Or you could check the local Public Library for a Helms or other industry type manual, look at it make copies of pages and go home and do it yourself...

 

You should be albe to pull the hydralics out of hte tranny without dropping the tranny.
