Thanks Bob. This evening I went back down, cracked the bleed fitting on the slave cylinder and let gravity take over. After about 15 minutes...whala. Now we have a nice feeling clutch pedal. I also bled a little more air out of the clutch master cylinder and the clutch is releasing fine. But it releases about 1/4" from the end of the pedal's travel. Is this okay, or will I put accelerated wear on the syncros? I have a 7/8" MC I can swap in the 3/4" MC's place, but the pedal effort is so low now it's great. I can easily depress the clutch with my hand; the effort is about the same as my Nissan pickup truck  . On the other hand, I certainly don't want to cause any problems by not disengaging the clutch far enough, so would you suggest I swap in the larger MC? I'm not sure how to check this aside from waiting until I can drive the car and see if it goes in and out of gear easily. Even then, is that a good enough indication, or would I be wise to swap out the MC for a little extra slave travel? Thanks!
