Sil-Vert FIRST DRIVE!!!

[gravetolife91]

So after countless days of work swapping in a new motor and 5sp. trans, I Got my car put some what together for the first drive. I drive it around town trying to stay out the polices eyes, it was about 8:15 at night and 40 degrees.I am out for the first time and with the top down. It was a blast.

One quick question while driving the way home, I pressed the clutch down and it stayed there, but I reached down and popped it back up and it fine now. It only did that once.

you should bleed the clucth agian there could still be air or the fluid could be low

yeah fill the fluid and bleed it. purchasing a $7 speed bleeder from spl parts makes it a lot easier. Do you run the dampener box? if so you have to bleed it first, and it usually takes a lot of fluid to get the bubbles out if the box gets air in it.

Yah I got rid of the dampening Box, does any one know the clutch bleed link. I blead it once. maybe I do it again

[top_secret]

what link? you just fill up the resevoir, put a short piece of hose off the bleeder screw into a jar of brake fluid and get a friend to push down and hold the pedal while you loose the bleeder screw, then tighten it as he/she releases the clutch pedal. repeat until it stops bubbling.
