Hi. Just had my gearbox oil replaced, though the pedal now feels like air is in the system. Is there a tool required to bleed the system or is it as simple as normal procedure?

Cheers

From memory, to bleed the clutch, you need to ensure the clutch pedal is manually lifted to its highest position when you bleed the clutch fluid. It is a 2 person job unless you can rig something up to operate the clutch pedal fully while bleeding it

If you don't do this, the clutch cylinder does not get new fluid in it and the old fluid is contaminated with water and if the fluid is completely drained, it is still possible to have air or contaminated fluid in the cylinder.
