I know a lot of people use the colortune and swear by it, but you must realize 
that you will end up with perfect tune at idle only. That can be a pretty good 
compromise because it's usually kind of expensive to tune a car under load, you 
usually have to pay to use somebody's expensive equipment or hard-earned 
experience.

Thanks for this info. I was wondering why my mighty vac worked great on the
brakes and yet did not on the clutch.
Question. Anyone use the "colortune" gizmo. How great are they? How easy to
use? iis it worth the money?

is a good idea to avoid one-man-bleeding kits that use suction to draw
bubbles out of the bleed nipple. The clutch slave seals are not strong
enough to resist the suction and air will bleed INTO the system.
