Bleed the clutch today
Just bought this car not too long ago. Didn't like how the clutch felt all this time, clutch pedal didn't feel much resistance until the last 40 percent of the travel, I thought that was the way it is but so glad to be wrong.
Clutch pedal feels much better, how it starts to feel resistance right away from the top make shifting much smoother. So if you guys haven't done it in awhile, it's time. Last edited by Tinkerman; 06-20-2016 at 09:56 AM. |

The clutch should be bled once a year and the fluid changed maybe every five years.
You ll be amazed at the crap that comes out! If the trans isn't shifting or the clutch not smooth BLEED THE CLUTCH first!

Once a year? Some people never even bothers, but every other year is considered anal fanatic.

Not really!
When you see the color of what comes out after a year/12k miles of operation you ll be a fanatic too....you might even do it every six months!
