clutch bleeding revisited
ok so I got the new slave cyl on and I prefilled it with brake fluid and i have enough pedal to get it into gear but it has to be smashed through the floorboards .. I tried leaving the master open overnight and let any air bleed out that way but it didnt seem to work.. any tips guys ?

Oped the bleeder and push your clutch fork toward the radiator,then close the bleeder before letting it come back. Careful to keep fluid in the master cyl.

You can also adjust your pedal so it sits higher so you don't have to go down to the floor. The brake and clutch are level from the factory, my clutch pedal sits an inch and a half over the brake pedal.

The bumps in th eroad work the air back up the line to the master cylinder.
I gave up on even trying to bleed mine when I open the system.
I just do for a drive, and use the clutch several times until I get pedal back.
Rough roads make that happen sooner.
Usually within a mile or two, all the air is out of the system unless you completely empty the master cylinder while driving.
Several times I had to pull the pedal back up with my toe the first couple times I pushed the clutch down.
