Interesting, tho its not the proper way to bleed the focus st clutch by doing it the reverse way. You want the fluid being pushed the same direction as it flows , pushing fluid up to the reservoir only makes since if you never bled the clutch in a 100k miles and it clould be clogged, but otherwise why would you wanna push fluid up to the reservoir and put dirt or any buildup in there is beyond me because then the only way to flush out the particles is to flush towards the clutch line end and capture it in a container whichs is the correct way. ASE certified doesn't make you know more about cars specifically than someone thats a og of the platform, ive built my own engines, big turbo swapped, and much more on this car to know everything i need to and this here isnt the proper way to bleed your brakes or clutch line on the focus st or rs. Good content tho, 👌 keep it up.

@@JDubWrenching no problem, im finishing up my stroker build currently. Rs head swapped, g35-900, custom 4" cowl intake. Made 542whp last year on the 2.0 setup, it was crazy

nah, I'm pretty sure that Ford recommends reverse bleeding the clutch. Even Damond Motorsports brought it up in the ST forum. I checked the shop manual, and it looks like they reverse bleed it. Some who've done it say it gives the pedal a better feel. It's something I'm about to do since I just replaced my clutch, flywheel, and slave cylinder.
Although, the manual says to not let it drop below the min mark. It looks like these guys emptied out the reservoir... or maybe they didn't, I can't tell.

That’s not how Ford specifies that you do it, it has to be reverse bled and won’t bleed the traditional way
