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.

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.

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....

On my 300zx (which had alot more clutch line) I bled close to 14oz through it before the problem went away.
