Question will small amount of air work itself out of clutch system

Just changed my master and slave on clutch system. I bled the air out but still must have a tiny bit in the line. Test drive went well but gotta pump clutch2times in beginning. what do you think.

Sorry it won't, you have to bleed every bubble out, otherwise you 'll have the same problems as your having now.

Yeah, air NEVER works it's way out of hydraulics unless it's power steering.

It's worth it to re-bleed until you have a good feeling clutch.

I've had excellent results with the 'gravity bleed' method with the clutch. the line is short and all downhill, just keep filling the resevoir (never let it get low enough to let air in) and leave the bleeder open. i did this for a while (an hour or so) while doing other things, closed the bleeder and it was perfect, nice and firm!
