Bi-monthly Motive Clutch Bleeding Question
Yes rennlister's its that time again for another clutch bleeding question. I feel like I've been over this a million times, I've bleed about 6 of these things sucessfullly buuuutt of course it aint working today.
Here's whats happening, I put the motive on to 15psi or so, open nipple, get good air-free flow, close nipple, goto pedal, perfect hard crisp return like normal. Then after letting the pressure out of the motive my pedal gets spongy? The master cylinder, slave, and hose were replaced two months ago, and this is a new slave as I had to take the old one off to put on my neighbors car when he needed one asap for a track day.
Is it possible it is sucking some air back up when the pressure is released? Should I teflon tape the bleed nipple? As usual I'm confused with this blasted clutch bleeding process.
Any thoughts besides suicide.
