Question WRX GEARBOX AND CLUTCH ADVICE PLZ

Hi Guys

Just put a new clutch, skimmed flywheel and a 2nd hand box into my classic wrx..

My questions are, should the gearbox have a dipstick in it?

The clutch pedal is pinging to the floor and only really feels like it is operational with about an inch to go to the floor....

Any idea's? Does it need pressure bleeded?

Thanks in advance

yes, gearbox should have dipstick..
do you mean you have no pressure on clutch pedal? and only a bit of pressure at the bottom of the pedal?
you should only have to bleed hydrolics if you have replaced any part of it.. what make clutch have you fitted?

Hi - thanks for getting back to me - I'm not mechanically minded by any means.... I guess what you have described is as is - no pressure on the clutch pedal... I have to pull the pedal back up from the floor and when I press it back to the floor there is only slight pressure just near the floor.

I bough an exedy clutch from Graham Goode....
