clutch pedal won't fully return after bleeding

Air still in the line.  Here's a trick from old Mercedes work.  Get some
vinyl tubing the right size to fit snugly on the bleeder, and about 4 feet
long.  Put one end on the left front caliper nipple, and gently push the
brake pedal with the bleeder cracked until the air is out of the hose.
Might require a few openings and closings to get there. Pretend you're
bleeding the brakes.  Put the open end on the clutch bleeder and open the
nipple.  Open the brake bleeder valve on the left caliper and gently press
the pedal down. Again, just like bleeding brakes.  No need to top off the
reservoir, the fluid is running in a circle.  This should get the air out of
the clutch system.  Good luck.  John
