My 2012 has 4400 miles only, but I want to flush the hydraulic clutch system - not merely change the fluid in the master cylinder. I was able to do this with my C5, but those of you who have done it know it isn't the easiest thing to do. Removal of +30 bolts from the torque pan, dropping the exhaust and locating the master cylinder bleed valve by feel. I know several people swear by the "Ranger" method, but that does not truly flush the system. Some contaminated hydraulic fluid remains in the slave cylinder and moisture in the hydraulic fluid causes performance issues and can possibly lead to slave cylinder failure.
My question - is the process for bleeding the slave cylinder the same for the C6 as for the C5? It would be too much to expect GM to install an extension on the bleeder valve with all the problems they have had with the C5 hydraulic fluid becoming contaminated with moisture and causing the clutch to malfunction over the years.
Thanks for any advice.
