So I have set the clutch adjustment exactly as described in the tech article here. Still not right. When I start the car, it suddenly feels like I have 3 inches of travel before I get any good resistance out of the clutch.
I'm about to give up and just take it to a shop with a vacuum bleed system. I've ran about a pint of fluid through this already, and don't seem to have any air bubbles. Maybe i'll try to pull the clutch MC off again and "bench bleed" it.
