Clutch Pedal woes...
I've tried to bleed the Clutch system a thousand times...but the darn pedal is still soft. When I got the new clutch pedal kit from GM after I blew up the first one. I bled the new kit outside of the car this time. I got the Kit pretty firm, and re-installed it...When I press down on the pedal there was more resistance...but the Clutch didn't engage till the pedal was almost to the floor. This sucks...there's still air in the line. Aparently I suck and am not doing it right. Are there any alternatives to bleeding the clutch out? ...so far this is what I have been doing....
Removed Clucth Cap and Diapragm from reservoir. Pushed the Clutch Slave Cylinder in while holding it verticly. I held the Slave cylinder rod in while I then replaced the the cap and diapragm. I then Pushed the Rod in using short strokes. I could hear the air in the lines.. and I watched the bubbles carry to the top of the resivoir. I then let off the Slave cylinder rod and removed the Cap and Diapragm. There weren't any large bubbles present. As I handled the Clutch kit...I could hear air moving around in the lines still...no matter how many times I bled the system this way I couldn't seem to eliminate the trapped air. Now is there any other way to remove the trapped air? I'm stuck at this point...am I doing something wrong? The Slave cylinder rod was signifigantly harder when I put it in the tranny. Had to use the mounting Bolt's to suppress it all the way into the clutch fork, but aparantly that isn't hard enough for the Stage 2 Clutch. What do I need to do to get this right?
