The dream is a good stiff pedal ,the nightmare is here already.The thread which I found here on PP described a complete bleeding of the system (brake ,clutch) Stretch with nice new clean fluid ,I believe it was a 240d manual car in which he located a line issue at the brake reservior and made an effort to take the system down of fluid prescribed by his local mechanic shop.The thread ,which was started back in 2005 , was the missing link to my no luck bleeding issue ,a lose line from the reservior (not leaking,hard to believe) was allowing air bubble into the system anytime you used the clutch ,the line HAS a woven fabric exterior which runs from the reservior to the master cylinder in the car.Hope this lesson I learned can save some time and money to others ,a new line installed here is were I would begin a mysterious clutch problem .The 29 YR OLD line is a bi$^& to get too inside the car(took the DR seat out to get under the dash )but in the end you will be a much happier fellow for it.
