I will hopefully be able to get to it tonight. I have replaced the old fluid with RBF 600 when I flushed and bled the system last week.

Well I back bled the system (harbor freight oil can and a syringe) and the system pressure has been restored to its former glory.

The traditional method for bleeding this clutch system is tricky to do correctly, especially when there is air caught. I would recommend back bleeding the clutch system to ensure proper function after the procedure.

IIRC, there's a T-junction in there that makes it a real pain...glad you got it sorted out!
