did you bleed the clutch system? The steps are: raise the back end put a box wrench on the bleeder valve (passanger side of the slave looking down into the engine) attach a clear tube long enough to reach a bucket or some such under the carloosen valve 1 long, full press of clutch 3 short rapid presses (do not release on the 3rd press) tighten valve release clutch <repeat until no air comes out into the hose> I would like to note that I found it EXTREAMELY helpful to remove both the engine cover and the air filter box to perform this. regards, Michael Paine vin 6067 > Hi all, > > This is my first post to the list.
