I was flushing out the fluid from the clutch system on my Sierra yesterday at work and accidentally introduced air into the system. So I did a complete bleed - pump pedal and keep pushed down/open bleeder/ close bleeder/release pedal. I got at least 95% pedal and stopped and drove home in rush hour traffic where I must have operated the clutch at least 75 times and did not notice any unusual behaviour from the clutch. After I had been home for an hour I went back to the truck and could not engage first or reverse! Pumping the pedal enabled full clutch release, so everything pointed to air in the system. I bled the system once more and got 100% pedal and the clutch was fine today when I drove the truck.
So, how did this one hour break introduce air into the hydraulics?
