Well I finally got the clutch bleeding SNAFU sorted out...kind of...it works now, at least!
Little niggling things, now. Before this all happened, my clutch pedal felt firm...I assume like factory. It only traveled about a millimeter or so before you felt the resistance. I liked it; it was a sign that that it worked great and I was assured that I could shift soundly. Now....the pedal travels about 1/3 - 1/2 the way down until the clutch actually disengages. While it works, I'm wondering why the sudden change...I -think- I bled the system out all the way, but how can I be sure? Per the Haynes manual, I read the short tidbit about setting pushrod clearance (I had to take the MC out to re-bleed it...don't ask why
) via the eccentric bolt. Well, there's no locking nut; it's just a bolt/washer and that's it. After about an hour of fiddling around with it, no change whatsoever.
I'm assuming SOMEONE has had this problem before...no lying now
EDIT: I've been driving the girl for about a week now w/o any mechanical issues.
