I have a 2G DSM that was abused by family members before I got it. I'm going through and replacing all of the fluids, because I have no idea when the last time they were changed was... the car hasn't been used in over 4 years. When I got it, the clutch reservoir was completely empty. I've never dealt with this before... This isn't my first manual, but it's the first manual I've owned that I've needed to do any work on at all outside of the norm, and it's extensive.
I'm seeing all of this info about not allowing air in when you're bleeding the cylinders, but I'm fairly certain air has already gotten in. How do I check? The clutch DOES engage (at the floor), so I imagine there is a little fluid in the cylinders. Since I wanted to bleed the old stuff out anyways, will that work to get all the air out? If not, what do I do in this scenario?
