A while ago I fixed a leaky clutch line and then bled the system with a pressure bleeder using the bleeding valve at the slave cylinder. Everything seemed to work out OK but the pedal has no real pressure (just enough so that it's not resting on the floor).
Is there a special technique to bleeding the Saab clutch? (It's a '93 900 T Conv.) One thing I didn't do is compress the slave cylinder's piston. Since the clutch was working fine before except for the leaky line, I strongly doubt that the master or slave cylinders need rebuilding so I'm hoping there's a few things to try before I pull them out.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Chris
