Dudes, Well, i drove my SC the first time from L.A. to Las Vegas which is 256 miles away. Anywho, At the highest point i think elevation is 5000 feet, well on the down hill i pushed in the clutch and it felt funny. Well i was driving around in the city looking for my new house, and the clutch still felt funny, like it wasnt really there. So i checked the fluid. It was low. I added it some and checked for leaks, i had someone press in the clutch and no signs of leaking. I took apart the inspection rubber thing and nothing out of the ordinary, no drips or nothing. So what i did i just opened the bleeder screw and let it drip. And voila clutch felt stiff and alive.
Now, on the way back from LAS VEGAS to L.A. it did the same thing, on the downhill i pushed in the clutch, it was funny again. I pulled over at the GHOST TOWN ROAD and checked it out, nothing out of the ordinary, clutch fluid reservoir is full.
So what can cause air to go into the clutch line? The elevation, I know brake fluid (clutch fluid) boils at a certain altitude, maybe it the air seperated from the fluid at the 5000 foot elevation?
