Hydraulic clutch pedal throw 700 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be ibs740 on  Tue Dec 27 13:17 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hi,
1991 740 turbo wgn. M46 trans.
The hydraulic line from the master to the slave cylinder leaked (rather quickly)draining the system. Damn salt, it's beastly. The brakes aren't affected (master cyl. has several levels). I fixed the line, pressure bled then bled using the clutch pedal. The resistance seems the same but the clutch now grabs immediately when the pedal is released off the floor.
What is the travel of the slave cylinder when pushing on the release lever?
I measured about 1/2" max.w/ full pedal travel. The pedal feels very similiar to pre-leaking.
I couldn't replace the line w/ an direct replacement (dealer only item up here & it wasn't avail. until after Jan. 2)
I used stainless flare fittings silver soldered to a combination of 1/4" steel brake tubing & teflon braided stainless flex hose. I used this same type of hose/soldering method for front brake lines on motorcycles/4 Runner/Tercel w/ no problem.
Is it possible that the flex hose expands just enough to lessen the slave cylinder travel?
Any ideas appreciated.
