[QUOTE="Ptaaty, post: 1248160, member: 86835"] Not sure if this was the right place, but didn't want to start a new thread. I wanted to provide my feedback on the value of the purge and bleed of clutch fluid. I have completely solved all my shifting issues by replacing the fluid and ensuring proper bleed in the process. I was getting clunks going into first, sometimes the "clack clack clack clunk"..really embarrassing and doing damage I assume. I had done the "clutch soak" and was better for about a week. Well after getting a mityvac knockoff I replaced the clutch fluid and bled. Clutch felt the same to my hand but after two rides (I assume I was getting better plate spread?) it has shifted perfect. No clunks, no issues....like completely different. Just wanted to point this out: if you aren't shifting smoothly - bleed your CLUTCH! I couldn't believe it...and unlike brakes you can't really tell based on feel or even the disengagement of the clutch. [/QUOTE]
