Question
ive got a 1997 chevy cavalier with a 2.2L motor and 5 speed transmissioni it has a sealed system and somehow got air in it . i have tried to put the line back together but i cant even get it close to "clicking point". hopefully there is some way of getting the air out  and some trick to doing so?

Answer
HI Shawn;
         OK well you will have to have some help as you shall need someone to pump/push the clutch down while you bleed it a few times. Yes there is a way to do it alone but you would need a bleeder tank and I do not think you have one, right.There is a kit that is sold at auto shops for bleeding out systems and it is cheep around 15.00. I would say that alone you could do it with one of those but without one there is no way . Note have enough fulid on hand so you can bleed out the system if you have replaced
a line ok all the air must be out for it to work properly.
Good Luck and Happy  Holidays.

PS UP TO 1975 !! !!!!!!!!!!! I will try with any others after that date. state up to 1975 but I still get 2006-007 etc. I guess you do not read this far ! !

Experience

All i can remember growing up is working on cars and making them loud and fast , and when i started to make money i would sink all of it into my cars so i could get them to go faster and look great. what else is there !I would love a challange to trouble shoot, as it is fun finding what is wrong when all others can not .ON the older cars not past 1975s , etc. so please I will try to help with the newer cars but do not grade me bad if I can not help your 2006 car.etc.
