Default clutch bleeding?

I just did my motor swap/tranny swap, brand new clutch/flywheel and I have loose pedal play. We bled the clutch once. At one point the pedal play was stiff, then went soft. Do I keep bleeding the clutch until the pedal becomes stiff again?

yes, you need to continue to bleed. make sure all lines are nice and tight, not too tight, but tight enough where air isn't entering the lines. also, make sure the clutch resevoir never runs dry, and you have the cap on while bleeding. if it runs dry air just enters the line again and you need to start over.

it is easier if someone is helping you.

i would just suggest to vacuum bleed it if u can. if not ur going to need 2 people for this job. the setup on honda's hydrolic clutch designs is not the greatest for bleeding. just keep at it till no more air comes out.
