ok, should i bleed the slave cylinder now? how do i do this? i know you obvousley have someone put pressure on the clutch, and crack the bleeder valve. But i hear its a pain in the ***, so if someone could tell me the proper way that would be great

 

Your going to bleed it basically like you would bleed brakes, but it is a pain. Let it gravity bleed for a little while first. Then have someone slowly depress the pedal while you open the bleeder. Once you have somewhat of a pedal you will no longer have to crack the bleeder loose but you will have to pump it about a thousand times (literally!) to work all of the air out of it. At least this is how i usually do it. I think the Haynes manual says pump 15 times then crack the bleeder loose, then pump another 15 times, crack it loose again, and keep repeating that procedure 20 times.

Is that the same process to use when changing the fluid?

 

thanks for the help. the pedal is good for the most part, but could be better.
