I fitted my busted clutch hose today finally. Install went well. Now, I go to bleed the system...takes about 10 min to finally get some pressure where fluid bleeds out. No air bubbles. But the clutch
Yep, I have a suggestion. Have someone push the peddle down while you look at the rod that comes out of the slave. The rod should move 1/2". If it doesn't you haven't bled the air out of the system.

well...My clutch hose goes into the side hole, and the bleeder is on the front hole. And to double check, your saying this is wrong? This is how the car was bought...was this a factory mistake? If al
Yeah, it's wrong. No, all it means is that someone else replaced the clutch slave cylinder at some time in the past. Considering that the last B off the line is 22 years old, I would imagine there ar
Yes, I'm saying the way your car is set up is wrong. Is this a "factory mistake"? Who knows? Did you buy the car new and know that the cylinder has never been changed? If so, then I guess it would b
