Jay,
Thanks for the thought. No, I did not get the bleed and feed
mixed up. They are in the right places.
Alan

>>>> Who has some suggestions?
Rebuilt clutch master and slave. Fresh throwout and
driven plate.
Bled the lines sooo many times. Pushed the slave piston in
while opening the bleeder.
Spongy pedal still! Can't get it in gear with out grinding.
What am I doing wrong? What Have I over looked?

***** NOTES from Jay Laifman (JLAIFMAN @ PNM) at 3/4/96 12:28p
Just a thought, one thing I admittedly did when re-installing the clutch,
was accidently put the feed pipe in to the top hole on the clutch slave
and put the bleeder valve on the bottom hole. This makes it practically
impossible to get the line bled fully. The bleed valve should go on top
so that the air flows up and out of it when bleeding.
