Re: New master clutch problem

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

Sounds like you need to bleed more air out of the slave cylinder. You
should also replace the plastic line between the master and slave
cylinder with the braided steel one if it has not already been
changed. You should try to use Castrol GTLMA DOT 4 brake fluid. It is
the most compatible with the type of rubber used in the seals.
