Mazda have had Bleeders on MC over the years and then remove them with NO other internal/external changes..like the RX-8.
The Bleeder on the MC for RX-8's was removed by Mazda on the June 1st, 2005 Production.

These little suckers are amazing! I know they've been around forever but I just used them for the first time while helping WCS put on stainless lines. They really make brake bleeding an easy task!
Use SB on clutch? I was wondering that as well. It seems like a great idea.

SS bleeders vs standard bleeders and part # clarification
I have read through this article several times and want to verify the SPEEDBLEEDER.COM part numbers for my application. I even called the lady at speedbleeders this morning and she didn't have the part number for the MC.
I have a 2005 gran touring automatic, bleeder on mc.
From what I have read I need the following:
1x SB7100S for the mc
2x SB8100 for the fronts
2x SB1010 for the rears
I believe the mc needs to be the short version but on the rear for my car I have seen 7100 and 1010. I think that the lady at speedbleeders said the part number changed. Anyway.... they still give 10% to RX-8 members.
Last question - I am going with SS lines and was wondering what the value of going with SS bleeders would be. I've heard that you shouldn't mix metals especially when a susbstance like brake fluid is involved???? This confuses me because the standard bleeders are probably steel and I am not sure of what the calipers are made of.... Also if the lines are ss that is a different metal going into the caliper??? I've probably made too much out of it but wanted some opinions and general understanding.

Hey everyone. I just fixed my clutch today, and there was a problem. I use a speedbleeder, and when you bleed the clutch, close the bleeder value, push the clutch all the way in so it sticks, and then open the bleeder value. Pump like 20 times, then close the bleeder value. Then repeat the process until you get a good, solid clutch pedal. It worked for me.
The problem was that it was popping out of gear, and the clutch pedal wasn’t really firm.
Hope it helps.
