my clutch engages at different points at different temps... i asked the mechanics at work and they say to bleed out the DOT3 fluid and put in DOT4 fluid. How easy is it to bleed a hydrolic clutch?
let me know!

Dot4 and Dot3 are compatible to be mixed. The only real difference is
that dot4 has a slightly better boil point. These guys are just talking
out of their ass.
With that being said, your fluid is probably pretty old and due to be
replaced anyways and dot4 would work. DON’T use dot5, as its not based
on the same base. Dot5.1 is ok though.

My only recommendation is don't let any air in the system if you can. When you pour the new fluid in try and minimize the amount of bubbles created when pouring. When I converted my automatic to manual transmission, I'm pretty sure bleeding the clutch was the most difficult part =]
Make sure you have an assistant and you will probably be sufficient to bleed from the furthest bleed nipple from the resouvoir. Just keep bleeding until you see new fluid coming out of the bleed nipple.
good luck

Bleeding the clutch is easy. You'll need to find the clutch slave.
Thats the hydralic piston the actuates a lever to the throw out
bearing. You'll find the bleed fitting here. It's attached to the
transmission. Bleed just like you would the brakes. From the
description of your problem I would be suprised if bleeding alone
will fix it. It sounds more like you have some contanimate on you
friction plate or its' just worn out.
Hope this helps
