Does you clutch need bleeding if not leave well alone

SubscriberI'm guessing that when the brakes are bled, you also bleed the clutch? But before the brakes? or after.
Thanks

TD5 clutches are a thing left well alone if functioning well. They can be an absolute pig to bleed.
AT RESTBrakes get hot as more frequently applied than a clutch. Brake fluid is hydroscopic , You can test the brake fluid with a special prob for moisture so you could also test the clutch fluid which is brake fluid on most cars anyway.
As said re clutches they can be a cow to bleed. get one of these for your tool kit. Last one I bought was about $10, don't know what they sell for now though

If your clutch pedal is ok at the moment it should bleed easily enough as long as it doesn't run out of fluid, i put a clear hose on the slave cylinder bleeder with the other end submerged in a bottle with 50mm of fluid so you will see how the M/c is pumping and also see when the fluid runs clean, it might even gravity bleed.
I have just put a clutch in my truck it has a air assisted slave cylinder and about 2.5 mts of plumbing and flex hose between M/C and slave, i could not get a pedal until i unbolted the slave cylinder of the box and held the it so the bleeder was higher the when bolted in,i also cracked the line as its runs over the gearbox. After 6 hours by myself i finally had a clutch.
I have never seen a D2 clutch system but all problem bleeders is usually trap air somewhere, just don't let in run out of fluid.
