MitsuStyle - View Single Post - Clutch Low Engagement(yea, I know it's a DSM)

Pumping the clutch to build line pressure does the trick to disengage the car out/into gear. It actually is drivable when this is done..

..which leads me to believe the fork and plate are fine...

And like cher said, nothing was swapped or changed. The slave was bled for a good half hour. The car was fine before. Now after..wah wah, this new problem occurs.

We will slow bleed the clutch this weekend, loosening the bleeder valve as someone pushes the pedal to the floor slowly...maybe this will do the trick.

I think we have the right input and ideas for process of elimination.
I am just really sick of putting this car together in 10 degree (or colder) weather.

thanks for the input.
