Sinking clutch pedal...Update.

[Stephen Ankney]

Guys,

First off, thanks for the feedback from everyone.

I changed out the Clutch MC yesterday afternoon with a replacement I had 
from a parts car.

I figured I give this a shot just to confirm that it was indeed the Clutch 
MC.

The R&R on the Clutch MC went rather well. I had to modify a 6mm allen 
wrench to get in at the rear bolt that holds the MC to the car. The original 
Clutch MC's have very little clearence back there. The used replacement was 
a aftermarket one that compensates for this poor design and is much easier 
to get at that bolt.

The only problem I had was bleeding the clutch. I did not have access to a 
pressure bleeder so we bleed the old standby way. This took forever.

I got as much air as I could out of the system but it still feels a bit 
softer than I'd like.

The clutch  still doesn't return smoothly at the top. It catches about an 
inch from the top and then flops up. I think I must have toasted the 
bushing/return spring?

On the road driving revels good overall clutch engagement. No more sinking 
clutch. Just softer than I'd like.

I'm gonna try to pressure bleed it sometime this week.

Steve
