Is there a trick to bleeding the clutch hydraulics on the celicas? I have an ST165 with a 4th gen swap and an ST205 trans with a stronger southbend clutch.
I bled my clutch with the clear tube on the bleeder method. I use a 6 foot length of clear vinyl tube and I work the pedal back and forth slowly watching the brake fluid level come up and the bubbles rise out.
The problem is, I have to push the clutch all the way to the floor to shift gears. Ive adjusted the rod length on the clutch master to where I still have a tiny bit of free play at the top of the pedal. The pedal does not feel like it is building pressure until it gets close to the floor.
Both the clutch master and slave are new and are both replacement parts for the ST165 chassis. Im not sure if there is a difference in piston sizing with the ST205.
Anyone else have problems with stronger aftermarket clutches?
