the red loctite will come out fine... I had to take mine apart after I realized that I put the wrong bolts back into the flywheel... oops

Hmmmmm.... that clutch looks VERY similar to a Spec 3 with a different color pressure plate.....

Well I finally got it all together. I didn't realize it, but somehow the transmission real seal got torn somewhere in the process, so it was leaking fluid all over. I got to drive it today and it behaves better now that the bolts are tight. The clutch engagement is still pretty early, about where is was when first installed. I think the master cylinder is going out, it seems like its not pumping as much fluid as it should. I will try to upgrade it with a newer design stock one and see if that helps.

Thanks for the info and update. Let us know if the new master helps or not. By the way, how many miles on your current master? Debating on replacing mine or not.

56k miles. Peter said that using the Mity Vac may have messed up the master by flipping the seals inside out due to the vaccum. He also said it should pump 10ml of fluid per cycle, and mine does far less than that.

So what's this better bleeding technique tha Pete told you about? Share it with us please.

Thanks

Crack open the bleeder, push down the pedal, close the bleeder, pull the pedal back up, pump up to get pressure, then repeat. He said 3-4 times and you're set. I think my master is trashed so it didnt work as well as it should have.

yep, pics are down.

You got an OEM flywheel? If not, a steel or aluminum unit? How much weight is lost through there flywheels?

That's the procedure I've followed in the past. I figured if it worked on brakes then it should work on the other thing in the car that uses brake fluid and has a bleeder. lol Didn't help on my car though cause my stock cluth is shot. But if you do it and you keep adding brake fluid every 2-3 bleeder openings it's also a nice way to replace the fluid in the whole assembly. I did it about 20 times to clean out the old fluid. It's a alot easier on your leg than doing the brakes. lol

That's what I did on my car, worked great for me. I'm still on stock clutch/hydraulics though.
