fresh paint on an s4.5
just got my 86 se back from the paint shop.i had all s5 exterior pieces put on because it just looks better.(don't flame me for the t2hood).all in all i think it came out good,except for a slight run of clear coat on the side mirror.there was also allot of body work that was done.now that i have it back ive noticed theres a problem with my clutch.whenever i press the clutch in to the floor it just gets stuck there,and i have to manauly pull it back to the disengaged position. if i pump the pedal rapidly with my hand, the clutch works normal for a very short period of time.i had the clutch replaced not to long back,and heard somewhere the lines may need to be bled,or have air in them or something.how would i bleed the lines? i seriously need help with that one. one more thing while im at it, how do i wire an a/f gauge.
now for the pictures.

You need to bleed the clutch line crack the bleeder then press the pedal down a few times make sure u dont run out of fluid pump about 4-5 times then hold the cltch to the floor have someone tighten the bleeder valve then pump the clutch u should get the pedal feel back then hope that helps

My car did the exact same thing when the clutch slave went out. It was a cheap, easy fix. Squeeze the dust boot on the slave piston to see if theres any fluid in it. It can be difficult to determine a leak there because of that boot. Also the clutch master cylinder can leak on the inside of the car under the dash. So watch out for that too.

yea it was 2500 for paint and body work,which it needed allot of,and they painted all the jambs and the bay also. the red is the stock s4 red,(sunrise?)but looks much better than the 20 year old faded red.the pictures don't do it justice.i cant put the s5 wheels on because these are 4 lugs
.thanks for the compliments,and for the clutch advice!!!

so when i was wiring my a/f r gauge,when i hooked it up to the o2 sensor wire, it didn't give me any readings.am i supposed to run it somewhere else.i noticed that the 02 sensor wire ran under the intake manifold,were there was a connector n the line.was i supposed to put it after the connector?
