Hi Andrew,
Just curious here...how long have you been driving your i30 without the damper installed?

Cheers,
Paolo

I removed damper after having problems with gear engagement. 3 months and running fine.

No, I was not aware of 'reverse bleeding'. I'm guessing that is physically moving the clutch fork to draw clutch fluid into the slave? I'll have a look into it and give it a spin.

Not exactly. Instead of pumping out the clutch bleed nipple, you force fluid in there. The best method has been to run a clear tube from nearest brake nipple to clutch nipple. Open both and pump the brake. Grab an attractive passerby to press brake while you watch underneath .... :rolleyes: .....the car.

I might actually grow to like you one day Gary..  :snigger: :goodjob:
