I just finished installing a 1.9TD in my Syncro Single Cab. In the process of having the original engine out, the clutch cylinder in the rear ruptured and leaked brake fluid all over the place. Today I installed a new clutch cylinder. I got the wife to push the clutch pedal to bleed out the majority of the air. Then I used a 2x2" piece of wood to keep the clutch from going down and the wife pressed on the clutch pedal ( that wouldn't go down at this point ) and I slowly let more fluid come out until it was clean and bubble free. Figured that this way it would be like bleeding brakes. Now I can engage the clutch but it feels very soft and you have to go to the floor to get it in and out of any gear. Is there something that I am forgetting to do? Thanks in advance.
