Hey Guys!
I have been off the list for a while catching my breath. Just signed back on
this morning.
I completed my transmission overhaul and replaced the engine and tranny back
into the '79 Midget. In the process I also replaced the flex-tube that
connects the slave master with the slave unit on the clutch. Only problem now
is that the clutch engages with only a fraction of an inch release off the
clutch, and the gears don't seem to shift as smoothly as I would expect.
Could this be a symptom of still having air in the clutch lines? I bled it out
with a mity vac, but I have never trusted the mity vac to remove all the air.
I have used it on brakes and was very dissatisfied. I think pushing the fluid
through the system is far superior to sucking it out. So. . .do you think I
still have air in the system?
Think I will try bleeding it out the old-fashioned way (wife pumping on clutch)
this morning to see whether it improves the clutch pedal travel and the
shifting.
