Subject:      air in clutch?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


I replaced my front brake lines this month. Everything was new from the
master cylinder to the calipers. I tried a pressure bleeder but either me or
the unit didn't work quite right and I went with the "partner" method of
brake bleeding.


We'll the brakes work great but I have to double pump the clutch sometimes
to get it in first gear or to get another gear. Sometimes, but not always.


Is there a chance of air in the clutch cylinder introduced from me running
the system so low? or does it (air) work itself out on such a system? or is
there a bleeder value for the clutch?


Any comments and a point in the right direction would be appreciated. I do
not have my Bentley around at the moment.
