thats odd. That black rubber bushing is the port for the hose coming down from the brake reservoir.

They are only blocked off to ship, in use there should be a white plastic nipple that fits into that black seal, then goes to a hose barb, and a hose to go out to the engine compartment.

Its a hand press in tolerance, are you sure that its blocked off? From the pic, it looks normal except for the white plastic nipple and hose is missing.

Here are a few pics-

Check your own car to see if you have the clutch nipple on the brake fluid reservoir, no need to go back if you can just cut it off. Pretty sure the nipples are on all models, regardless of tranny option.


Bleeding is pretty easy since the clutch and brake fluid reservoirs are linked. when its all together, open the passenger front caliper bleeder, and the clutch slave cylinder bleeder, and connect them with a hose. (I usually use a couple hose clamps in case it slips off).

Then slowly pump the brakes 15-20 times, and it will force hydraulic fluid from the caliper, through the slave, up the clutch line, through the master, and back into the brake reservoir.

Once you have no air bubbles coming up out of the clutch line connection, tighten everything up, and pump the clutch up a bunch of times. I had one where it pumped up in like 10 pumps, and another where it took 5 minutes to pump up. Don't know why, new parts, no leaks, and they both worked great in service, but one took longer.
