Hey everyone, I installed a new master clutch cylinder a few months back as the original started leaking all over the footwell. I did not bench bleed the cylinder as I have a schwaben pressure bleeder, and thought that would be good enough. Install went well, bled the clutch, and the pedal felt good. For a myriad of reasons I hadn't driven the car since the new clutch master was installed.
Fast forward to this weekend, I finally get the car started and went to drive around the block t check things. I started losing clutch travel half way down the street, and eventually had to go around the block in first as i had no clutch pedal at that point and couldn't take out of gear. Clearly i didn't bleed it properly...
Anyways, to correct this, do I just need to run a ton of fluid through it? Should I leave the pedal pressed in to help let the air out? Do I pressure bleed the clutch with the pedal down?
