In my 76 Midget the clutch pedal is only effective the last 15-20% of
travel. When pulling away from a stop, I get engagement almost as soon as
the pedal moves from the floor. I don't think the clutch itself is worn out
or at least I want to explore all options before digging into the clutch
itself.
The slave cylinder is 2 years old. The master cylinder was original so I
have replaced it with a duplicate from Moss. I also replaced the red hose
(also original) between the cylinders in case it was expanding under
pressure. I am concerned that I still have air in the system. I have bled
the system twice and not found any noticeable bubbles in the clear tube I
attached the outlet.
Is there any special technique to bleeding the clutch system (as opposed to
brakes)? Does anyone recommend using a vacuum bleed pump?
Thanks, Ben
