Air bubbles in clutch fluid??
 
well i got my clutch done latly and it hasnt felt the same since. while i am letting the clutch out it has a kind of bumpy/lumpy feel to it until it is fully engaged or disengaged. could i have air in the clutch fluid? i checked the first day i got it and seen no air bubbles , but tonight i checked again and there were a few air bubbles floating at the top.... any help appreciated. thanks

you could bleed the clutch and then you'll know if your problem is from air bubbles or not ;).

If it hasn't been done before, you may want to bleed the clutch fluid anyway, but that will definately get any bubbles out.

bleed the hell out of it......
also if you drive for a while does your pedal pressure get firmer??

if so then yeah air is in the line as it is expanding.

did you get your flywheel resurfaced?

ok i bled it 3 times over today. its nice and clean. i dont see any bubbles anymore, but it still feels the same??? i have a brand new act light flywheel in there , the clutch is a spec stage 2 kevlar disc. could it just be that im not used to this kind of a disc? the pedal comes all the way to the top so i figure its not a master cyl. , could it maybe be the slave cyl.???

also it only starts to feel "bumpy/lumpy" when it gets warm. when the car is less then 70C its like a normal clutch. wierd....

when you say bleed the heck out of it what do you mean???
On my 300zx (which had alot more clutch line) I bled close to 14oz through it before the problem went away.
