JFP, That makes sense. I just received my Motive Powerfill and wanted to get all my questions out of the way before attempting my first brake and clutch fluid flush on my new-to-me 997.1. I think I will use it as it was designed -- put 2 quarts of fluid in the tank and not worry about having to check the reservoir all the time. Come to think of it, I will end up throwing all the leftover brake fluid in the tank away since the next time I'll do this is in 2 years. I won't be saving anything by not putting it all in the tank.

Thanks for the response JFP. When it comes to using the Powerfill, some people choose to keep the tank empty and just use it as a pressure source connected to the brake fluid reservoir (the only fluid they work with is what is contained in the reservoir). This technique of course requires repeated checks to make sure the fluid in the reservoir doesn't get too low, but the plus is you don't have to wash out your Powerfill tank once the job is done. Others actually fill the Powerfill tank and push fluid through the hoses into the brake fluid reservoir. So my question is, will 10-15 cycles of the clutch pedal deplete the quantity of fluid in the brake reservoir (assuming it is completely full)? Will I be forced to fill my Powerfill tank with fluid to prevent depleting my brake reservoir during the clutch bleed process? I hope that makes sense. Much appreciated. Sean

This is correct following the wait and slowly releasing the pedal. Loren, I think I am having the same issues as Andy. These steps don't make sense to me . . . specifically pumping the clutch pedal when the bleeder valve on the clutch slave cylinder is OPEN. How do you NOT introduce air into the system on the return stroke of the clutch pedal? If you are using a power fill, the system is under pressure. So what is the point of pumping the pedal? Won't all the old fluid exit the system (assuming the clutch is fully depressed and held) just by the pressure of the power fill? Thank you. Sean
