from bluecollar performance, and Ford engineers at the plant explained the same to me:

What is the real problem? There is air trapped in the slave now from boiling the fluid. You can try to get it out by following the factory recommended bleed procedure. You may want to take the tools with you to bleed the clutch at the track. After a pass, perform a couple bleed cycles and get back in line. We have found this to cut the problem in �.

Then I guess those of us that have pumped the clutch and let the air work it's way out discovered something new. Oh wait, that was a ford engineer that told me to do that . . .

funny! Do you work at Auto Alliance in the repair department with many techs and engineers? I would probably know you then! Without having the system bled, you will not get all the air out, which will eventually fail. Mine failed twice in three months doing exactly what you are suggesting, not to mention I've seen hundreds of mustang clutch, and tranny changes at work, and we wont even start a car without it bled from our machine. Hard to argue with someone who has spent 10-12 hrs 5-7 days a week for the last 6 yrs driving v-6's,gt's, and shelbys. lol

Thanks for sharing that. At present I'm going stircrazy. It's been raining and snowing all week and I'm off work all week. I'm going to go do a vacuum pull and see what happens.

"vacuum pull" Is that your weenie pump? Can't help you with that one! Sorry, I was just looking for a good recomendation for labor. Since, I don't have the means to properly do it myself. I guess everyone knows more then the next guy on these forums.
