Ok, I just had a weird reminder of my time with this clutch system last summer.

On hot days, when everything was warm and toasty, engaging the clutch took a few pumps to slot first from a stop.

I'm very suspicious of air now, as any air expansion in the lines due to heat would make engagement harder since the air would impede brake fluid flow.

Am I thinking right on this?

To clarify what was happening at a stop light, I would have to pump my clutch pedal a few times and I could feel that the catch point was basically at the floor. I would have to almost muscle the stick into gear while pumping the pedal and holding it at the floor pretty hard.

Don't ask why it took me this long to remember this. I thought all my clutch issues stemmed from the bad TOB. I suppose that's not the best way to think.
