Subject:      Re: New Transmission Time?

Maybe try a synthetic trans oil. I hear they can do wonders,but the clutch cylinder bleed is the first thing to do.

Speaking of clutch bleeding, how is this done? When I replaced my components I could not get it blead proper. I pumped about 2000 times or more! Still no pressure to activate the clutch. Mostly air in the lines. I filled the resivour to the tipity top and resumed pumping. By luck it pumped up and the clutch worked.Good thing as I was about to quit. But this was luck. Had to be. I hear of pressure bleeding for this system. Is this correct? What is needed and how is it done? Now that my clutch works, I need to bleed the system again just for maintinance(2 years).Can I just pump it like a brake system? Tanks
