i was tracking the package and below is screen shot, but why did it go from the dallas to the airport, back to dallas, and then transferred to post office

when i called ups they said the shipper is the one that did it that way, makes no sense to me

My clutch pedal has done that the entire time I've owned the car. I've always assumed there may be air in the line because it kind of acts funny in addition to that, but since I pretty much only drive it to race I haven't messed with it. It is very annoying when you're doing regular driving though so I feel your frustration.

Keep bleeding the clutch line and see if that helps. If you have bled the line till you have turned blue. Then replace the master cylinder and bleed again till you turn blue. The adjustment you speak of is the clutch pedal rod that is connected to the master. You loosen the nut and thread it into the clutch bracket.

The fuh lol what did i do to you guys lol. I speed by Travis' tonight to drop of see wheels for him. Back bumper almost fell off from the trailer. I guess it had more damage from the accident than i thought. Left the trailer at his place for now. Tried to do my brake pads and realized they gave me the wrong front pads. New ones will be here tomorrow. Then had some bad *** chicken for dinner.

the shop bled the clutch when they rerouted the line.... it is a wilwood master but i am wondering if since i more than likely boiled the fluid if it fried the master somehow. on these instructions it says you will see it go down, but i need mine to come up.. so i guess i could reverse it. after reading some of that thread it says you can mess it up if not careful..... makes me scared to do it.
