how do you drive? Do you ride the clutch? Sounds like the fluid is degradating and losing its efficiency. How does the fluid look in the overflow tank? Is it black and dirty? Might be a leak and water is getting into the thing. Do you still have the cover on the slave part of the transmission? Try pulling that off and see if you have any leaks.

i must say i find myself riding th clutch sometimes

i would recommend changing the slave cylinder. if you have to keep bleeding, you must be getting air in the system some how. get a new cylinder and bleed.

did bleeding your clutch the first time change where the clutch caught? mine catches high but i think it just is worn out. hydraulic clutches don't usually have an adjustment though..

GREAT question to ask.....


YES....it DID change where the clutch engaged

a far dramatic change if I might add

in comparison to my present day clutch, the "post-bled" clutch grabbed about 1/4 of the way down whereas the one I am dealing with NOW grabs like 3/4's of the way down

so when my foot has the pedal to the floor it only takes about 2-4 inches of me raising my foot to actually feel the clutch engage.....

when the clutch was in perfect health, it would take about 3/4's of a foot in length to actually feel the clutch grab the gear

so in essence my pedal has no significant resistance after the 2-4 inches off the floor .....i could spit on the pedal and it would lower with no problem to when it engages, dramatization of course

Was the clutch master cylinder leaking?


If it was, Im sure you would have noticed that the fluid was constantly low and the drivers carpet was wet.
