The ftlbs tightening info is great! But there must be an easier way to install a clutch😮

Thank you

[@Sippinbuds]

Since the supercharger is what keeps vacumn on the brakes and the slave cylinder uses same fluid. The clutch pedal doesn't have much feel to it due to everything not being hooked back up yet and started. Right? Hoping I did everything right...

[@AdvancedClutchTechnology]

Although the brakes and clutch utilize the same reservoir, the clutch hydraulics do not need any vacuum to operate. Because the clutch hydraulic system was never opened, you should have normal pedal feel immediately with or without the engine running. If the fluid is old and dirty or somehow air has entered the clutch hydraulic system, it is most likely going to need to be flushed and bled with clean fluid or at the minimum bled per the factory service manual.
