ATTN 6 Speeders...CLUTCH BLEED is AMAZING

ok here is the story, my clutch has always been a POS to get used to, then last week the pedal went all the way to the floor,

i decided to bleed the clutch this morning, and let me tell you..
first of all this takes at the most 10 minutes with the right tools, and second i had a lot of air bubbles in my clutch lines

i only bled the lines this time, i did not bleed the booster on the clutch itself, thats next

ITS pure amazing, like a whole new car, clutch engages effortlessly, no jerking no notchiness...

i would reccomend that all of you do this, it'l make you love your car once again

Your car should of always felt the way it does now. Either you had a repair done on the clutch and they didn't bleed it out properly or you have either a bad clutch master, slave cylinder or a loose fitting somewhere. If problem isn't fixed your clutch pedal will soon feel like **** again

was the fluid low? i suppose you could just get small amounts of air in over time, though it might be a rare thing... either that or fluid was leaking out, which the level would be low.

Yup mine goes in smoothly after I added the stainless steel clutch line....adding new fluid and bleeding does help...
