Great video! This needs to get more attention in the LS community, for the folks (and customer cars) who have not yet upgraded to a SS remote bleeder assembly (which is a Godsend once it's on there). Thank you for putting this together, and showing us the exact tool kit to buy. That was my only remaining uncertainty. 🍻 👌 ✌
glad the vid helped! I looked at the remote bleeder kit, but sadly, with this generation CTS-V, the tranny needs to be pulled for installation of the bleeder 😕
Glad to help. Did you see my playlist for the CTS-V? And let me know if you have any topics or ideas for a vid: ruclips.net/p/PLGNsbVXzRfZM_iBzuNnNosHi2YmTkasZA&si=0BHA4h6HW2LqdPYY
@@DrivingIntelligence it seems the topic that I'm finding myself reading about is how we cannot source an accelerator pedal from anywhere nor is there a solution. If the gas pedal dies out in the v1, you might as well part the car out.
never, only time I had a problem was when bleeding the clutch. As shown in the video, cracking the bleeder allowed the clutch pedal to go to the floor, but would not return on its own.
Approximately how many times did you have to pump the clutch until the procedure was complete? And is the air in the system extruded from the bleeder prior to the fluid coming out? Im wanting to make sure I'm getting all the air. Thanks so much.
I believe it was around 20 pumps of the clutch, and this method pushes the air out of the entire system. My clutch pedal feel was measurably better after I blead the system.
I used this method and after about 25 pumps, no fluid was ever expelled from the bleeder nipple. The kit bled my brakes effectively. I have a mityvac attachment that fits the master cylinder reservoir. I'm wondering if I can fill it with Dot4 and put pressure on the reservoir while bleeding from underneath. Stock clutch and MC... just doing maintenance because I'm sure it's never had this service.
@@andrewbrown656 that might work, I would also consider a vacuum bleeder attached to the bleeder. Pull the fluid through. Sounds like your slave cylinder is bone dry. How is it driving?
The kit includes the wrench that is used to open the bleeder using the adapter. No need to use any other tools. It works as shown in the video. Thanks for your question
Mine was 100% as soon as I started driving. You might have some air bubbles somewhere in the master or slave cylinder and might need a vacuum bleeder to pull the bubbles. Was the fluid pretty dirty?
@@DrivingIntelligence fluid was nastyyyyyyy, but was clear when I finished up. As I drove it seem to get better feeling, might give it another shot here soon.

I like the kit. Looks like beneficial for many bleed activities
It’s a nice kit
Always a thumbs up for your videos. One cool Caddy
It is a nice ride… over 400hp!
Nice kit
Very nice
So excited to try this! Thank you!
You’re welcome, please share!!!
Thanks for identifying the best tool
You bet!
Great video! Just put my drivetrain back in my trans am and it shares this transmission. Know everything I need to now.
Very welcome!
Great video😊
Thank you!
Thanks for the ctsv1 specific how to vid. I just bought one and this is gold. Also, I subscribed.

@timbattle3415 Thanks for that info, can you send me a link? I’ve never heard of this before.
Wow, great content
Thank you very much! If any ideas for future videos, let me know.
Have you had problems with clutch pedal not returning

@@DrivingIntelligence ok sounds great. My '07 has 136k miles and the fluid is dark. Thanks again for the video and amazon link.
Very welcome, let me know how it turns out. I’m contrast, mine was clear. Very odd that mine was so clean with 45k miles since last bleed.

How much volume of fluid do you need to operate a t56 properly?
sorry, I don't have that answer... there is not much fluid in the slave and clutch master cylinder.
Do you crack the bleeder open with a regular wrench then attach this kit?

When you bled yours. Was it 100% as soon as you drove it? Or did you have to drive a while before regaining full pedal feel?
Mine was 100% as soon as I started driving. You might have some air bubbles somewhere in the master or slave cylinder and might need a vacuum bleeder to pull the bubbles. Was the fluid pretty dirty?

@@rnkustomz Let me know if a second flush makes it an better.
