Its I think a 91-92.....So explain how to bleed it with a vaccuum....Also,I dont thing they bled the clutch mas. cyl. before installing it...how do you do that also?....It started to get ALITTLE bit harder,but ended up going back to just the spring pushing it back out.

Thanks guys.

Oh,im begining to thinkg its the throw out bearing,wouldnt that cause the same symptoms?

Rep for all/any help.

You've probably just got a rediculous amount of air in there. I replace the slave with the master though. They may have replaced the master cylinder for a slave cylinder issue The throwout bearings usually aren't an issue with these cars.

If you want to use a vacuum pump method. Just push the clutch pedal down and hold while someone cracks open the bleeder screw and vacuums out the fluid. Make SURE you keep fluid in the brake fluid reservoir and don't run out .
