96 sport
Hello, I have a very nice 96 Sport with a 5 SPEED. Just had the clutch, slave, master, TO bearing changed & fly wheel resurfaced. I have 101000 miles on the truck. My truck was having a hard time shifting into 2nd and 4th. Found out that the shop didn't bleed the hydraulic clutch correctly. I started bleeding it from the bleed screw acording to an article i read. I've bleed it every day for the past 5 days. Always get some air in the fluid. How long does it take to get all the air out of the system? SHift's better every time i bleed the system. I thought today would be only a little air in the system , but quite a bit came out. The air bubbles are small and stuck together. I am not leaking any fluid as the reservoir doesn't go down. It shifts perfect when it's cold then when it warms up it drags going into 2 & 4th a little. Also clutch doesn't seem to engage fully until the clutch pedal is almost all the way out. Is this the way its suppose to be? thanks for any help.
 






Well i bled the system everyday for a week. I finally got it to where there is no air coming out of the valve. The car shifts much better & goes into all gears better. Still have a little trouble in 2nd gear, depending on how i pull it down. but all in all much better. Amazing what a little air will do . By the way the clutch peddle is very stiff now . The way i remmember it when we bought the car.
