I bled my clutch and i accidentally let the reservoir run dry. i spent a few hours removing the air. now if i try to bleed the upper or lower bleeder and no air comes out, only fluid. the clutch pedal acts very different now. i have to press the pedal about 1/3 of the way down to begin to disengage the clutch. As far as i can tell, when the pedal is at the floor, the clutch is fully disengaged.

any suggestions why the pedal is acting so strange?
before i bled the system the clutch would begin to disengage after a few cm of travel in the pedal. now the first few inches of down travel are just dead nothing

bump. i read at www.motorvate.ca that if the clutch acts differently than before bleeding the fluid, there is still air in teh lines. The thing is, I bled almost half a reservoir of fluid with no air bubbles in the fluid from both the upper and lower bleeder. I'm really confused!

drive it for a couple of days and then try again...after I changed the hose on my slave cylinder I bled for about an hour and the pedal still didn't feel right...drove it for three days...bled it again and this time it did the trick...

thanks for the response. I'm going to try bleeding again in a day or so. I think there is air in the system still and it will eventually rise up.

no prob...why were you bleeding it in the first place?
