I've just installed a new spec clutch with a new push bearing ( I'm not sure about the name it disconects the clutch). While instaling it I had drain the transmision. Now I got two major problems.

First clutch pedal is soft. I've bleeded the system (opened thebleed valve let all the air / bubles out and closed it) 15 times by now. There is no hole in lines becouse break peadalis still firm.
Could starting the car presurise the system? I haven't started it becouse of shift cables (next question)

Shift cable keeps jumping out of it's white holded/housingevery time I try to change the gears.

Any advise will be apretiated. Thanks

1- starting the car will not pressurize the system or make it better I should say, when you bleed it, have someone in the car pushing slightly on the clutch, then open the bleeder, then have them hold the pedal to the floor until you are sure you have the bleeder closed...repeat numerous times.

2- are the cables disconnecting at the tranny or in your shifter housing, I dont remember white at the tranny, only in the shifter housing inside the car, all I remeber is geen and orange on the tranny? If on the tranny, you have to snap the things on, it should be quite difficult, at least mine were.

^^^yes, that is very true as i just finished my clutch swap last week and when doing this process it almost seemed as though i was getting nowhere, if you don't have someone else available you can get the one man bleeding kit from advance auto, as thats what i used, and it took a while. During the processes it'll start to stiffen up then get limp again (please keep our minds in under control here). But just keep doing it until no more air bubbles are coming out and clutch feel is stiff again.
