Question for others who have done this: how much air came through when you were bleeding it afterward?
I just installed a Euro short-shifter and did the CDV delete at the same time (2019 Alltrack). I followed the tutorials online to a T, got everything buttoned up, and bled the system with my Motive power bleeder. I was surprised by how little air came out at this stage. I had the system pressurized and bled it long enough to fill about 1/2 of a 20oz bottle with old fluid before closing the bleeder screw and taking off the power bleeder. There had been 0 bubbles coming through for a solid minute or two before I closed the screw.
I took the car for a test drive and it seems to be shifting fine, but I can't help but feel that more air should've come out. The clutch engages and shifts through the gears fine, so maybe I'm just overthinking it, but I swear it feels softer than it did before.
Anyone have a similar experience? Should I re-bleed, or am I crazy?
Thanks all
