I do believe that bleeding my clutch system will be beneficial, and I know I'll need all the same parts, maybe it will do the trick. I have a further question though, when you bled your clutch, did you use a pressurizer of some sort? And if so, what did you use and where did you get it? I have heard of people doing as they would when they blee dthe brakes, and I think that is what I will do, but the bentley manual recommends the pressure method so I was wondering if anyone had tried it. josh Walt Kienzle wrote: > > Josh, > > I liked your comment about "being short on money, I don't want to waste any > on parts that won't do the job." and was going to ask when was the last time > you bled the clutch hydraulic system.
