Yes, that's what the guys at my Porsche shop also said, so I'll be bleeding the clutch this weekend. Does anyone have a good DYI on bleeding the clutch? (actually I only need someone to point me how to locate the bleeder valve).

Thanks
Christopher

Hi,

Chris, just be sure that you bleed both the Clutch and the Brakes. Leaving the old fluid in the Brake Lines will just contaminate the Clutch Line in short order...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
