Bleeding (ahhhhhhhh!) Installed a Spec Stage III, with 01+ Slave Cylinder and McLeod Master. Couple friends of mine installed the master for me and I am not sure how well they bench bled it.
Its all hooked up, and I bled it for 2 hours with another friend. Clutch pedal pressure got better, but no where near where it should be. If it was not properly bench bled, is bleeding it inside the car going to be an impossibility? Any tricks or hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Bleeding (ahhhhhhhh!) dude i had the same thing put in at a dealership but my clutch was a cartek and went to get it and the guy that installed it said it probably needed to be bleed some more so i drove it home and the peddle felt funny all the way home the clutch grab at the floor i wasn't happy either so i bleed it a couple of more times it didn't help so i crawled under the dash and adjusted my master cylinder and my problem was gone hope this helps
Re: Bleeding (ahhhhhhhh!) i just got through bleeding my clutch, still have a few air bubbles in it that i will go at tomorrow, but i didnt bench bleed the master(the new slave came pre-bled). i just disconnected the line that goes into the tranny, and pulled it up into the engine compartment(so it was the highest part in the line) and pushed in teh clutch while dad depressed the white fitting in the end of the line, and by like the 10-12th time pushin the clutch down while dad pushed in the white piece, we connected it back up to the tranny(no more air was comming out), and just seconds ago pulled it off the lift...pedal pressure is a little bit stiffer than stock. it drove well(up and down the driveway) and we are going to do the same thing one more time to make sure we got all the air out and then we will hit the streets. it does grab a little lower which makes dad and i think there is still a tiny bit more air in the line so we are gonna go at it again, but if i had to i coulda driven it today w/ out a problem. good luck
p.s. i installed a 01+ slave, mcleod dual disk w/ aluminum flywheel and a mcleod master
