Does anyone on here know where the clutch bleeder is located on a late model mazda3? If so, is it accessible from the top or below? I can't find any good guides or videos showing this.

Any help is appreciated.

Can you see it from above? Do I need to take out the air filter housing to get to it?

You can get to it from below. Take the plastic cover off the bottom.

That sounds about right. The parts diagrams have separate illustrations for the trans case, slave cylinder, and the piping.

Bummer. I was hoping to get to it from above because I don't have a lift and getting under a car on jack stands or ramps always makes me a bit leery.
