Default Bleeder valve question.

I put in a new clutch master cylinder today and now i need to bleed the line. But i noticed the shop that installed the clutch/flywheel messed with the bleeder valve a little too much and the wrench slips when i try to open the valve. Is this valve replaceable?

ok so i bled the line, and now the clutch doesn't stick anymore but it wont release the shifter at high rpms. For example: i take out the car in 1st take it to 6k rpms try to shift into second but the shifter wont come out of second with the clutch fully depressed. It happens in any gear not neccesarily 1-2. Please help me this is starting to get frustrating!!! BTW slave cylinder was replaced about 4 months ago aswell.

Assuming the clutch is properly bled.

Adjust your clutch pedal. look in the DIY section on how to.

It can, cause your not getting full stroke on the master or slave.

Getting air out of the system is a PITA, having the full proper stroke on the master is a must without a pressure bleeder.

i bled my clutch but i think i still have some air in there, i noticed the clutch height wasn't all the way up so maybe redoing it will do the trick. Anyone know if i can use a vaccum bleeder? if so how would i go about doing this?

this kit specifically :http://cgi.ebay.com/CAR-AUTO-HAND-PO...#ht_698wt_1141

PS: not being pushy but please reply if you have info as i want to do this in the morning. Thanks in advanced.
