- - Question on Clutch Replacement (http://forums.pelicanparts.com/mini-discussion-forum/890705-question-clutch-replacement.html)

Installed new pressure plate, clutch, fly, and throw bearing. I did not change the slave, but when I disconnected it from tranny I did not compress it while it sat off to the side. Now, tranny is back up but when I push the clutch it is extremely soft for the first half, then it gains some resistance to the floor. Does this sound symptomatic of needing to bleed the slave? Thanks.

I would try bleeding the hydraulic system. If that doesn't do it, to you may need to replace the master and slave.
