When i did mine on my jeep thats the way i did it. Maybe there is still air trapped in there??

 

When i have the wife pump the pedel i told her to hold it as hard as she can to the ground...id crack the nleeder and it was a straight stream, no air...did it three times with a smooth flow and called it good...but the thing shifts fine....if it had an air pocket wouldnt that make the clutch not disengage right away?

 

If the clutch is still working, and not slipping, leave it alone. The hydraulic clutches are indeed self adjusting, so, as soon as you start applying pressure, it starts disengaging the clutch. Having a 'high' pedal is actually fairly normal. It was probably lower previously because the slave was going. What you are experiencing NOW, might be NORMAL operation.

 

Get one of these from Summit Racing and bleed it the easy way:

 

Im thinking of rebleeding clutch because i watched a video and it said small air bubbles can get trapped even if the bleeder doesnt squirt air because it gets stuck in a corner and my particular slave it must be bench bled properly or it can result to premature clutch failire due to it not releasing the clutch even if the pedel snaps back...

It was a long video but im going to take it off and bench bleed correctly....

This may be a dumb question but when i went to the parts store i asked for clutch fluid and he said dot 3 brake fluid is the same....thats what i got to was he wrong and i have wrong fluid

 

Brake fluid.....use it in hyd clutches as well.

 

Ok good....now tomorrow first thing in the am im going to grab my morning coffee and set to work digging into the timing cover...i need to see my belt to hopefully show myself its been changed then ill dig into the slave....ill get some pics of my car up....even though its a maine car theres no rust..
