so i think i posted somewehre and you told me to do the gravity thing
Are you talking about this "How To"?

The "gravity" step is not included because that's not the way I did it. If you read that thread step by step, you need nothing else. If you're not taking the time to read it through, I can't help you.

So I did the clutch delay valve removal mod and everything worked out well. Well, it's been about 3 weeks or so and the clutch has started to feel a little weird to me. It feels as if it catches a little bit higher than it used to, the distance it takes for the clutch to fully engage seems a little longer, and the overall pressure of the clutch pedal feels less. However, these problems are very slight and perhaps I'm just imagining them (you know when you convince yourself something is wrong even when nothing is wrong at all?) Perhaps I bled the system incorrectly? My car only has 2200 miles on it so the clutch is in great condition. Am I just imagining this or is something wrong?

no see... i had bled it and it was feeling weird. i believe it was you who told me to do the gravity thing, but what i am unsure of was whether or not that was to be incorporated with the full bleed from the faq section. all i did was let some seep out while someone was pouring more fluid in.

i cant search right now the search just takes me to the forum homepage, but if thats not what you would do, what would you do?
my confusion stems from you bringing up gravity while the faq says nothing of it. what do you think should be done?

The only time I recall ever using the term "gravity" is in reference to push starting a car and the bleeding of the cooling system, which was related to how to park the car on an incline to help burp the air out.

oh okay.. maybe i'll try a rebleed. i thought there was air in my slave after the slave mod and bleed so thats why i thought you told me to point the valve to the sky and let gravity push the air out. was that not you? if not i'm sorry lol.

You've got air in the clutch system, plain and simple.
It was probably me that advised that. I've had great success with gravity bleeding only. However, there are many variables to this. If Xv has a posted solution I would follow it to the T

(Thank God. I thought I was going nuts.)
As I suspected, this gravity bleed had very specific conditions and the context of that procedure was quite unique.
