I think that prize goes to the nut behind the wheel What's a 7-3/4 hat size converted to mm?

(Accidents are always the fault of that nut)

So based on the previous few posts you are saying that you multiply the number of inches by .03937 and it will tell me how many millimeters something is?

Well it was a 36 mm like all of you said. I replaced my clutch today with a 5th gen O O O riellys brand clutch. Now i wish i would have went with a ACT or something stiffer. I mean when you press the clutch after it disengages it falls to the floor its so soft. but i wont be replacing the clutch anytime soon again.....Hopefully.

Hold on, you replaced your clutch with a non-OEM 5th gen. clutch? For future reference, the 5th gen. clutch kits that everyone, including myself, raves about better clamping force is the OEM 5th gen. clutch setup. No one as of yet has reported better performance using a non-OEM 5G clutch.

Please give me the procedure for doing this. I Have already bleed it twice already. I would pump the clutch then hold it down and then open the valve on the slave cylinder. Then when my friend closed the valve and i let the clutch out it would come back up. I was like wtf. But then we did it a couple more times and it worked, so i dunno.

its not suppost to come back up.

Step clutch, open valve, close valve, he lets off the clutch, and pulls it up with his hands or feet, repeat till you see no air in the lines.
