I got the brake and clutch bleeder (overkill I know , but certainly convenient = http://toolstoday.co.uk/product/5303/sealey-brake-and-clutch-bleeding-system?cat= ) and I was wondering how to flush clutch oil - is there "bleeding nipple" on the clutch as well, similar like on brakes? It is the same oil cylinder for brakes and clutch but not sure where it is on the clutch side , for RAv 4.3 2010 model, manual 6 speed,

Thanks

Yes there is a bleed nipple on the slave cylinder which is easy accessible with the undershield off. I use a litre of DOT3 for a brake fluid change. About a third goes on the first wheel (you can do them in any order as they are all seperate channels) as this purges the reservoir as well. I then use up to about just over 3/4 of the bottle on the remaining wheels.

The rest goes to the clutch. It shares the same reservoir as the brakes and as far as I am concerned it reduces the risk of cross contamination.
