  1. I cant believe what i've read above?? Under NO circumstances should AIR be introduced to any hydraulic system! If you have an issue with your clutch, it is because either air IS in the system already, your clutch is wearing out, or there is some other problem. You dont 'fluff' something to treat the symptoms, you solve the route cause. Air is unpredictable and over the course of time changes. Let me ask a question, would you introduce AIR into your brake system?? NO, thought not! So there is your answer.

    I have had air in my clutch system (not by choice) and the pedal/bite goes to the floor, NOT the other way round. Also the 'bite' becomes 'unpredictable' in that the bite position keeps changing. I suggest that if your bite is high, your clutch is on the way out. I think that i have read on here there is slight adjustment you can make, but only slight, so book it in for a clutch job. Done.

    I find it surprising the variance of opinions on this topic. Most people seem to agree that introducing air is not a good idea, though. But it seems that for at least one person that has worked categorically well. How can that be?

  2. Sorry, I'm afraid I don't follow that. A and B gives me the left and right alignment of the leftmost part of the 9 and the rightmost part of the right 1. In what way does that give me the angle of each number? And then, what about the middle 1? I apologize if I'm missing something...

    ....

    After looking deeper into this, it appears these logos come on a sheet of paper when new, so the placement and angle of each number is by definition correct. What I have is the three numbers by themselves, so that makes proper placement much more complicated as I need to stick them one at a time.

  3. However, try simply reducing the engagement point of the pedel as I descibed above by introducing air into the system. This, by itself, may move the pedal to a point where the spring does not interfere. My pedal, which engaged at the top with the new stage 2 clutch, now engages about half way up. Play with it until you get a comfortable engagement point. You'll be surprised how much smoother your shifting is.

    I have a 2002 996 and the clutch also engages fairly high. I tried removing the boost spring but couldn't get it out. In any case, the technique 1999Porsche911 is recommending sounds a lot better, as it will lower the engagement point which will make removing the spring an unnecessary thing. I am concerned about this technique, though. Why is it no one else recommends this? Doesn't introducing air create a spongy pedal feel? Any other side effects? Doesn't this go contrary to the notion of bleeding the hydraulic system?
