So I bled the clutch again today and adjusted my pedal from inside the car... It helps a little bit, but it's still pretty soft.

Had someone in the car, depress the clutch pedal and hold, open bleeder valve, close bleeder, off pedal. Repeat over and over. There was absolutely no pumping as you would with the brakes.

when my system was empty, after my rebuild, i had to bleed brakes and clutch for like 2 hours, and put 3L of fluid through before i got ample pressure..
