I bled the clutch line and slave cylinder today using the two person method. I didn’t know I needed to do this when I bled the brakes 5k miles ago, so I decided to do this today.
Pumped the clutch 5 times and held it down, then had another person crack the valve.
Kept the pedal held to the floor, had the other person close the valve, then let go of the clutch.
The clutch pedal stuck to the floor and I said “oh f***”
After thinking about it for a minute I pulled the clutch out and it popped right out. It still felt normal so I did it again maybe 12-15 more times, putting more DOT 3 in the reservoir every 3 or 4 times.
Clutch pedal feels fine, maybe a bit tighter than it was before, idk?
Is the pedal supposed to stick to the floor after closing the valve? Is it the CDV that does this? Did I do this correctly?
