UPDATE2: Continuing to reverse bleed the system. No luck. What should the brake pedal feel like when I'm bleeding the clutch system. Should it go to the floor everytime (like it does) or should it pump up tight? Any help would be appreciated!!
UPDATE1: I reverse bled the the clutch system twice. The first time the brake pedal pumped up tight and the clear fuel line I used was full of fluid all the way to the slave cylinder (the air went somewhere). I tightened the bleed screws and tried the clutch. Same thing-can't get it into reverse. So, I reverse bled again. This time the brake pedal wouldn't ever pump up tight (as if the fluid was flowing through the slave and back to the reservoir?)What's odd is that I didn't see any bubbles coming from the return line into the reservoir and the fluid level hardly dropped at all. What should I try next?
My '81 300 TD wagon with 4-speed is having intermittent trouble shifting gears.
The symptoms indicate the clutch not disengaging far enough to stop the gears when going into reverse. It will shift into forward gears without grinding but takes a lot of pressure.
Is this a bleeding issue? Thanks!
