Ill try to keep this in TL/DR format
Home on Vacation
Moms car 2006 Ford Fusion, 2.3L I4 5 speed
Clutch pedal stops half way up intermittently yesterday
Today stuck on floor.
Clutch MC or Clutch slave bad, removed and will change both, ordered parts will be here in AM.
Decided to drain shared brake fluid reservoir via transfer hose to clutch MC
No fluid comes out of connection hose. Blow in connection hose, air comes out of brake reservoir. Brake fluid tastes bad.
Reservoir must be baffled... fill it passed the MAX line and fluid comes out transfer hose.
Must be a safety thing not allowing clutch to drain brake fluid.
Seems odd that the brake fluid has to be nearly over filled for the clutch MC to get any fluid.
I am guessing that I just have to be Johnny on the spot keeping the reservoir full when I am bleeding it.
I just want to make sure I am on the right page here before I put it all back together and bleed it. That PCM bracket was a PITA.
Thanks Guys
