QUOTE (bccentaur3 @ Jun 11, 2008 - 7:45 PM)  alright I bled it, but I don't think I did enough. The clutch is soo smushy. Does that mean I still have air bubbles in my clutch line. Do you know exactly how to bleed a clutch? I have a feeling that your just not doing it right. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

when i bled my lines, i used the aerator hoses from fish tanks(so i can see through) and bled the fluid into a clean, clear bottle until clear fluid came out. but then i also drained ALL the fluid first.

See the problem is my brake fluid is filled with dirt. Maybe its clogging the lines. How do I clean out the system?

Yeah, I would flush the entire system clear of the old and dirty fluid cause it might cause premature failure of your master/slave cylinders. Then buy a new brake fluid and fill and bleed again. The bleeding is not that hard, the main thing is to get a hose that fits over the slave cylinder nipple tightly so as not to allow any air in. Next is to dip the other end of that hose into a brake fluid-filled jar again making sure not to allow any air to enter from that end also. Then the rest is basically having a help pump and hold the pedal till you open and close the slave cylinder valve(nipple). Do this several times till no air bubbles come out and pedal feel right.
hope this helps. good luck with the swap. This post has been edited by malecrod: Jun 13, 2008 - 10:40 PM -------------------- 3sgteing.

I've had good luck with taking throttle cables to performance cycle shops and having them extended / replaced.
