One of the best addon items to my AH.  Was able to obtain one 3 years ago
from one on our members as there seems to be no maker any longer.

The obvious, most likely problem is air in the clutch line.  Start with a
good bloodletting of the clutch circuit. Unfortunately, this is a pain, and
often gets, uh, 'overlooked' because the bleed screw on the slave cylinder
is nigh impossible to reach without removing the transmission tunnel (or
dropping the slave cylinder).  Some of us have installed bleeder extensions;
this one is from the late Doug Reid--'Mr Finespanner'--which is
unfortunately NLA (you might get lucky on eBay). I bled my clutch once in a
Texas Roadhouse parking lot waiting for it to open.

What are the causes & remedies for low clutch engagement? I have a 63 BJ7

most appreciated.
