My clutch kept sticking, this worked better than new! Crack the bleeder and drain ALL the fluid til it stops. Refill, bleed 30 times. In 24 hrs preasure will return and bleed agian 15-20 times, two person bleeding. Cover entire line with 3/8 heater hose from master to bell housing. Zip tie it up and behind the heat shield that covers the brake lines. Zip tie the 3/8 hose so it wont come off the hyd line as well. Spray brake fliud up into the bellhousing and clutch to clean it dust and dirt etc. Aftter this I am unable to get it to stick after repeated speed shifts and races!! Freaking love it. Any questions?? Thats with a stock clutch and 83k on a 99 lots of mods!! Take care

Do you think letting it sit for 24 hours allows some of the air to escape through the reservoir? I noticed there's a little vent hole on top of the reservoir cap....

I have heard that bleeding the clutch to the point of replacing all the fluid does temporarily clear up the pedal to floor syndrome. I have heard of people using a turkey baster to suck the fluid out of the reservoir and filling it up again with new fluid, then driving it for a while and doing this again and again until most of the old fluid gets out. I have also heard that insulating the hydraulic line makes the interval between fluid changes longer. I have also heard that there comes a point when this does not work anymore, whether the fluid gets coked up inside the salve or something I donno.
