Reply to "Clutch pressure problem"

Ok this is really strange. Apparently there was some foreign material in the system somewhere. I started pulling the entire system apart Friday night. I knew the master cylinder was fine because it is new. So, I moved to the point that the hard line meets the clutch master. The connection looked good. Then I went to the point where the copper line meets the hard line. I checked again for any kinks... Nothing. I pulled the two lines apart. There was brake fluid dripping out from the copper line. I filled the master and vacuum bled the system to that point. There was plenty of fluid flowing. No problem there... Moving on... I pulled off the steel braided soft line and put the vaccum pump on that for grins. There was nothing coming through it. The soft line was blocked! I fired up the compressor and blew air through the line in increasing pressures but was never able to clear the blockage. I had to cut the end off of the line to find the blockage and I was able to clear it at that point. I went to the local speed shop on Saturday and had a new end put on the hose. I then completely disassembled the rest of the system and completely flushed it. Nothing else was in there. It looked like fine grains of sand in the clutch line!? What the? Anyway, I put it all back together, bled the clutch and everything is beautiful now! The car shifts perfectly and the clutch feels great! Thanks for all the help guys!
