Did you bench bleed it? How many times have you bled it since the install? It might take a few bleeds to get all the air out...

There are a ton of threads on here on how to bleed the clutch. I've done it both from under the car and with the Mitivac. I think that the under the car method works the best but is of course the hardest because you need another person. The Mitivac works pretty well and is easy to use. Just plug it into the master, pump it up to about 15 psi or so and wait for the bubbles. Good Luck

does bench bleed mean pump it up with fluid before the install, or have it suck fluid up?
