You need to bleed your clutch. The brakes and clutch share a common fluid reservoir. Might as well flush brake fluid and bleed both systems.

Agree - bleed the clutch and brakes. Use a different color fluid, like ATE Super Blue, so you know when you're done.

Save yourself a world of grief and buy a Motive Black Label European Power Bleeder. You can do a complete flush, by yourself, in about 1/2 an hour. Well worth the investment as this is a job that you should do at least once every two years.

Lots of info in the forum on this, do a search.
