Clutch line help

[vbrad511]

I've got a 97, 4.0, 5 speed and I'm having issues getting the clutch bled completely. It's got a high spot in it from the factory that I can't seem to beat. Is there a trick to this? The other option I've got is to have the local brake and clutch shop make me a braided line for it, for $40. Only trouble with that is they need my line to have to fittings. Any chance somebody here'd have an extra line (even in pieces) laying around?

Nevermind. I've seen that a handful of other folks have had the same issue, and then saw that Youtube video on the fix. I'll try that tomorrow.

thats a good video on how to bleed the clutch. im going to be having to do this in a few days when i put the new trans in

The video is invaluable for this. I've had my master off a couple times, bled the daylights out of it the slave, and it's always just ok for a while, but eventually it loses pedal. I just followed the video instructions....reinstalled the assembly, and had pedal immediately. Didn't bleed anything and it feels great. The hardest part of it was feeding and aligning the rod back through the firewall and into position.
