it takes two people... and its just like a brake system

and bleed it at the slave, unless you want two step it and do the control block too. but thats a waste of time.

Less likely to get air introduced into the system.... Less weight.... Less parts to worry about...

I noticed very little change in pedal feel. The function of that clutch damper is to eliminate vibration or feedback in the pedal. Its suppose to make it feel "better". But, without it, you get a little more direct feel with the clutch....
