Default 05 s2k clutch control valve delete

hi, i recently took out my clutch cylinder and took out that little piece and after taking that out I bled all the fluid out and put new fluid in. After no bubbles or air appeared I closed the bleeder and pumped the clutch. Now I noticed there’s play in the pedal from where it actually engages. I don’t think it’s the clutch master cylinder because before the change there was no play. Any suggestions??

Step 1, readjust clutch rod. Report back afterwards.

Search for excellent youtube video on process if unfamiliar.

The play is from air.

Only if you don't bleed it out.

Hydraulic fluid is not compressible. Air very much is. You introduce lots of air when you disassemble the slave. Its not easy to get it all out.

You will probably need to remove slave from trans, so you can rotate it around slowly so air in all pockets can rise and escape out bleeder.

Leave hose connected. Gravity bleed. Make certain master never runs dry. Remove slave from trans. Rotate.

A bottle of soda has air, if you tilt the bottle on its side like the bleeder is when it's attached to the car, it's really hard to get the air out. But if you point the bottle straight up, it's a lot easier to squeeze the air out. Same applies with the bleeder, unbolt it point the bleeder straight up, that'll help you bleed it. Air is lighter than brake fluid, so if you point the bleeder up the fluid will settle and the air will collect at the bleeder.
