[Tigers] Clutch Hydraulics

[Richard Bruner]

I bench bled the master cylinder before installing.  I had a helper
press the pedal while I opened and closed the bleeder.  Air came
through the clear tubing I used before fluid with no air/bubbles.  I
ran another 1/2 bottle of fluid through it after that just to be
sure.  The pedal goes to the floor with no resistance.  I have
not tried pulling the slave piston in/out.
