The clutch saga
I posted this a couple of days ago in response to one of my other
emails but have not received any replies. I am putting it in its own topic so sorry if this bothers anyone... I have replaced my clutch end to end (minus the line) and am having issues with it maintaining pedal pressure. When I bleed it, it appears that all the air is out of the system. The pedal feels nice and firm when pushing on it. However, the moment I start the engine, the pedal starts to get soft to the point I can't put it in gear. I have teflon tape around the bleeder screw. I did not bench bleed the master, the instructions did not mention it. I do not see any leaks. Any ideas? Will |

I do thing you said you didn't bench bleed it? Some just need to be pumped like mad to get the air out, some have to be perfectly level and pushed in deeper than the pedal can do it.

Re: The clutch saga
I agree. Pull the master and bench bleed it all the way. Sometimes the pedal
doesn't quite reach the end of the travel for the master.

I'll give it a shot tomorrow and see what happens. It will give me an excuse to get out in the great weather we've had the last two days. Thanks |
