open, push, hold, close, repeat. I did this and the clutch has never felt better.

It can be very frustrating trying to bleed one of these systems. After we install new hydraulics or even open the system for a clutch install we bleed the system, let it sit for a couple of hours then do it again. Then we keep the car overnight to hit it one more time just to ensure that there is not going to be a problem... been bitten before with a very spongy pedal after a good test drive and delivering the car!

Stay with it and you'll get it. Call me today if you need some advice!
