So I went and did this, the first time probably 30-40 pumps and the second time around 100. Still the same.

How can you feel if you have clutch without starting the car? I can shift my car into gear when it is off, but not when it is on.

You mean just if the pedal feels stiff when you push on it?

Same thing. Still won't go into gear while running.

I got my lady to help me and we pumped the breaks probably 15-20 times opening and closing the valve on the caliper. As far as I...

I do have a quick basic question. You are supposed to suck the fluid out of the clutch reservoir before starting, but how do you get at the part that is for the clutch? It seems to be divided off and...

Where is the caliper bleed screw? I peeked around back and didn't see it and assumed that it was on the wheel side of the caliper.

It may seem obvious to you how to do this, but as should be...

It is more complicated because you have to take a wheel off, have to have a partner to press the brakes for you, open close, open close, etc...

I pumped it up to about 27PSI and still nothing. Maybe the breaks do just offer more pressure, which is why I am going to try that next.

Are you referring to the rubber flex hose that is attached...

That is very useful information... thank you.

Do you think there is any reason why using a pressure bleeder to push the fluid through from the bottom would be any worse than using the break system?
