Hi Ben,
Bleeding the clutch is the hardest thing I've done on this car. I found
that because there is little resistance againt the pedal you can't use the
old methods of stepping and bleeding the air out. I've had pretty good
luck with a Mity-Vac. I have friends that use the easy bleed system, it
works okay. If you are like me, too poor to afford such items at this
time, then try this alternate method.
Take a small vice grip plier and pin the slave rod so it can't move. I
just clamp it on the rod underneith and let it move against the tranny
case. This gives the clutch a stop for a hard pedal. It makes bleeding
the fluid of air a lot easier. a piece of wood behind the rod also
works. Try this and see if it helps.
