    How did you bleed the system? If it wasn't "back bled" using the left front
    caliper, then I would bleed it again with that method.

    (To recap - connect the bleed nipple of the left front caliper to the bleed
    nipple of the slave cylinder. Open them both up and pump your brakes
    slowly. This will pump brake fluid up the clutch system forcing air out the
    top. I personally have the clutch tube at the reservoir go into a separate
    container so that the old clutch fluid doesn't go into the brake reservoir.)

    Also check the slave cylinder to make sure that isn't leaking.

    Before I knew this method - bleeding the clutch never worked very well at
    all!

    Hello Group.

    Well I spent yesterday replacing the master clutch cyl. For every one that
    has been complaining about Audi's and lack of space you should try a Clutch
    cyl on a ABS car. Its apparent the brake people didnt talk to the clutch
    engineers to ensure room.

    The old one was leaking and I noticed the clutch needed to go almost to the
    floor to go into gear. Its the same way with the New Cyl. So does this mean
    that the clutch is going? Or I noticed a small amount of play in the Pedal.
    Could it be the Rod is worn?

    If it is the clutch. what is the process? Unbolt the rear end, remove the
    torque tube then pull the Trans?

    Im starting to get the car ready for the GrassRoots 2004 challenge and want
    to be sure it doesn't break down while Im up there.
