Brake and Clutch bleeding

onight I replaced my brake/clutch fluid, I bought the pump from Bav auto and it worked great, it was by far the easiest fliud change ever. The clucth part was a little tricky but I got it down. Once again I got the clucth tool from bav auto and well it worked like a charm. Now I have ATE superblue in all my lines.

I do have a technical question, My clutch wouldnt engauge fully for a while I had to drive stop and go for about 3-5 miles to get it to be what seems like its self again. Is that normal? I seem to remember when I got my clutch replaced it did that for about the same, but I just want to make sure.

I do have to say now the brakes and clutch are SUPER touchy and I LOVE it feels like a new car again.

I also replaced my tranny fluid nice and smooth again... those fill and drain plugs... what a PITA!

got it done though, go me


If anyone needs ANY help please pm me and I will try to walk you through!
