Re: Do I need a new clutch?

It should be mounted on the firewall in the engine bay, on the drivers side of the car. The clutch pedal is connected to a rod that goes through the firewall and into the master cylinder, which is where the fluid reservoir is as well, so the reservoir should be directly in line with the clutch pedal. When bleeding a clutch, the bleeder valve will be on the slave cylinder, which is a hydraulic piston attached to the bell housing of the transmission (or transaxle as in your case). It will be on the other end of the hydraulic line coming from the master cylinder you just located.

Bleeding a clutch is usually a two man job because of the distance between the clutch pedal and the bleeder valve and the fact that it is necessary to operate both at once. It is, however, very easy to do.
