Soon you'll have replaced the whole car... one piece at a time.

Anything engine related anyways...

The clutch has to be bleed one pump at a time and then filled. One pump and then filled on late cars due to the tiny little clutch res that is built inside the brake res. Usually if you jack up the front of the car only it helps a bunch.

Anyways that is if your not using a power bleeder.

Merry Christmas to me, turns out when I was changing and bleeding the soft line I bumped the speed sensor plug at the back of the block. I don't have the retaining springs on them atm so it disconnected just enough to where there was no connection but it didn't look unplugged.

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!

You either need to bleed very very slowly or you need to pull the clutch master line (blue hose) and feed direct. This works fantastic. Also save yourself some $ and just rebuild the slave and master (assuming your bores are not rusty) and replace the metal/rubber slave line and master line for sure.
If you run the Motive wet (fill it with fluid) this won't happen. Never understood why people run the Motive dry and continually refill the reservoir. Defeats one of the best features of the Motive.

Because the hoses tend to burst occasionally... which makes a horrific mess!

Hi Jurgen!
Can't wait to make your 944 Christmas cookies this year!
Thanks for all of your youtube videos..

Twig, is/was the firewall flexing at the clutch pedal?

Hmmm....never heard of that. Would be bad indeed. Wonder how common. Bursting at 10psi would be a pretty big product defect. I'll upgrade my hose I suppose.
