Anyway, I'm going to try to search for a stiffer .080" diameter line and then try again to see if that makes any difference. Images below.

Did you ever find a stiffer fuel line for this method? Thanks

Hate to revisit a 4 year old thread but looking for solutions

So I tried the Ranger method, vacuum method, and syringe because I was starting to have to pump the clutch to get into reverse. None of it made a difference in my clutch feel. I installed the Katech bleeder because I was replacing my motor mounts anyway and was gonna have the headers off.. It was a little bit of a challenge to install, but very doable if you do your research and prepare. Properly bleeding the clutch made the biggest difference in the feeling of the clutch.

Nice, I will have to go that route when I put new headers on the car. Are you still running the stock clutch?

I have an LS7 Luk clutch in there. It was done by one of the previous owners. Wish they had the foresight to do a remote bleeder too lol.
