alright well i took me a while to bleed mine but heres how i did it i made sure the fluid was full got under the car had someone manually pump the clutch (pushing it down and pullin it up) a bunch of times to build up pressure i then open the bleeder and had them push the clutch to the floor and i would wait to for fluid to come out steady it took a few times but itll def work once fluid comes out steady close the bleeder mine is still perfect to this day no problems. i put in a spec stage 3 wut did u put in
