Hey Guys,
My 1975 Lightweight has a new little problem. The clutch now has very little resistance and only works when all the way on the floor. It was low on fluid so I filled it up. Any ideas?

You have a leak and now there is air in the line.

My guess is you will see a leak without bleeding anything. Check in the footwell for fluid, then check across the bulkhead for fluid, then down at the clutch master. It's a really simple system.

My guess is the master went, only because it's been common for me, but who knows.

Also, I bet you weren't driving it much, right?

Could also be the flex line giving way.
