quick question
i did the gravity brake bleed and also did my clutch. i was superised of how fast the clutch fluid came out when i opened the bleeder. when i looked at the clutch fluid it was almost empty, so i added the ATE super blue and let it come out a little bit more and then i closed the bleeder. now the clutch padel feels "soft" sort of like smooth when i push it down. is that normal?
Sounds like you may have let a little bit of air into the line. Re-bleed and see if it gets better.
When you say "so i added the ATE super blue and let it come out a little bit more and then i closed the bleeder", it sounds like you didn't let the new fluid make it all the way down. Make sure you are seeing new fluid before closing the bleeder.

Did you keep topping off the original fluid?
If you didnt then you could have got some air in it.
Usually you can really tell if theres air in there as theres usually almost no pressure in the pedal.

its something like that.....like the clutch has no resistence....b4 it was kinda hard to push....now its like "soft'..
i guess i'll try the re-bleeding it
im just got my s2k so i dont know how to do it the s2k way but the way i do it is after you fill in the fluid, step on the clutch about 5 times, open up the bleeder to push the air out then tighten it, and repeat the process (step on the clutch 5 times again and bleed it again) Add in fluid in between each time until it seems like theres no more air in there or when the clutch feels firm and "normal" again

If you bled the reservoir down below the bottom outlet orifice at either time during your bleed process,it likely got some air into the system.In that case you'll need to simply top off the reservoir near the top and repeat the process a few times taking care not to bleed it past the point where the reservoir still has an inch or so level before refilling and resuming the bleed operation.An assistant is most helpful doing this.Well ....a good assistant.
