How do you bleed the clutch on a 1g. Someone told me to bleed it like you bleed breaks. And some one told me to have someone hold the clutch down open the bleeder screw and let it gravity bleed its self. Soo witch is it.

You can do it either way. The correct way to bleed something though is to give it two pumps and hold the pedal down, have someone open the bleeder, let the pedal go to the floor, tighten the bleeder, and then release the pedal. Then push the pedal down (don't pump though, if you had a bad master, you'd be sucking in air), open the bleeder, let the pedal fall all the way down, and then close the bleeder and let the pedal return back. Do that until you get no more air in the lines. Also watch the fluid level as you're bleeding.
