u mean to tell me that u have a car so extremely rare, that u can not go to a local parts store & pick up the manual?

And, ur clutch system is hydraulic, just like that of a Honda Prelude, & to such systems r two major cylinders.the slave & the master cylinder. l had to bleed my lines before & all l did on my prelude was detach the main line from the master cylinder assembly. l think that most hydraulic MC r located just on the other side of ur firewall. If u open ur hood it should be somewhere closest to the steering column & brake fluid reservoir. If u see a second reservoir next to the brake reservoir, then you've found ur Clutch master cylinder. l will be willing to bet that one hydraulic clutch system will have similar characteristics to other systems. Keep in mind that all vehicles r synonymous in that respect. Most cars r alot alike, so the same basic principles apply, regardless the make or model.

as above, any hydraulic clutch must be able to be bled just like the brakes. unless u r unlucky enough to have a slave cylinder with no bleed nipple. it is possible that it may have been broken off or ur just not looking in the right place. try looking at the highest point on the slave cylinder to find it.. as per taking the line of the master cylinder l would not bother this does not solve the problem of air in the slave cylinder & can cause other problems. just remember that all clutch & brake fluids should be changed every 2 to 3 years. this is for 2 reasons.. 1 hydraulic fluid absorbs moisture.. & 2 it is also very corrosive & rots the rubber seals in the cylinders.

It is French and is therefore junk. Get rid of it.

The system is sealed and cannot be bled. The slave cylinder is mounted on the front of the gearbox and the master cylinder is mounted on top of the brake pedel behind the dash board. Half of the dash board has to be removed to replace the clutch pipe system (approx 3.5hours if skilled mechanic). It is common for the clutch to need to be replaced at the same time on the 2.2DT so it could work out quite expensive.
