Thanks for the replys.
The clutch works fine while the motor is not running, so it's not a lever adjustment or drag problem. It has less drag now with new plates than with the old plates.
I use Rotella 10-40. I had the resesovir cap off the whole time I was bleeding, running and not running, and got no blow back. I will check the slave unit spring.
It's got to be air in the system, but you'd think after 10-12 oz of new fluid the air would be gone. I'll borrow a vacuum type bleeder.
