RE: New master clutch problem - solved

[massimot <massimot@xxxx>]

Last week I posted a message to the DML about my clutch problem, I had 
many replies and I thank all of those that did. Just to report on the 
fix. Everyone was right I needed to bleed the line again. This time I 
persuaded my wife to help me and it made a big difference. She pressed 
the clutch pedal while I refilled the bottle and checked the line, I 
think the trick was to keep the clutch pedal pressed while I tightened 
the bleeder valve, a tip from a DMLer.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone on the DML and 
the people that run it. I am a family man with 2 small children, 
probably like many of you, and I barely have time to work on my car let 
alone spend hours doing research trying to find the answer somewhere. I 
know that there are archives and magazines that probably would contain 
the solution but I just don't have the time to look through it all. So 
again I thank you for putting up with my problem and for the prompt 
responses.
