That's how i didi it. I filled the MC to the top almost overflowing and set the pressure to 20 psi. Opened the bleeder screw little bit, close it,recheck the pressure, open the bleeding screw again and repeated this for few times. I bleed around 200ml fluid out of system when I started the car and depressed the clutch pedal it went to the floor and I had to pul it up but still able to engage the gears. I drove the car for 60 mile or so and it firmed up by itself but still little bit softer then it used to be before. What I am wondering now is this system self bleeding? Do I still have to rebleed it again? I like the way it is now only you have to depress it somewhere to the floor. Is it ok for transmission to have the clutch this way?
