Clutch bled what a difference!

[sleepingcat]

Hi guys,
Finally bled clutch today (brakes done last sept).
What a difference it had become a bit sudden
almost off/on kinda thing, now its much more
progressive & smooth.

I don't think its ever been done before fluid was black!
Definitely worth doing!

Daft question, but is it hard?

If you mean was the job hard no was easy, had to take
air intake house off & its bit tight for space - just connected on man blled valve to nipple other end in small jar - my bleed pipe kept popping off so got mrs to pump clutch peddle while i held pipe on.(remember to keep eye on fluid level in brake reservoir - easy to forget it).

Clutch much lighter in oeration now too, smoother gear changes & its more progressive - good result for 20 mins work.

Cheers. I did my brakes at the weekend, so there's lots of lovely new fluid to pump through. I will ask the mrs to give me a hand.
