Just got my tranny bolted back onto the engine following a clutch change - bolted the clutch lever cylinder back on - release lever seemed to have a lot of play. Got in car and pressed clutch peddle which is almost to the floor with very little travel in it.

 

Does this tighten up when everything gets bolted back together and the car is on the ground??? I sure hope so!

Work the clutch peddle with your hand for a while and it should build back up.

Phew! Thank you, you're a life-saver! I was about to take the transmission off and measure the flywheel and clutch housing thicknesses

 

I've never had a hydro clutch before so was in unchartered territories

 

Anyways, on with the re-assembly :banana:

That's happened to me quite a few times before. It might take 20 or 30 pumps before it comes back, sometimes you'll have to bleed it after wards, but that's no big deal.
