pressure cant buildup since theres a "breather" on trans/rear etc..
if its plugged you will see a puddle of oil under trans. as it will
cause the seals to leak.
most likely the dealer is just "bleeding" it.
some vechs. do have a pushrod adjustment for the clutch master cyl.
but never tighten it so the pedal has no play or you will burn out
the throwout bearing.
another problem is that sometimes the firewall can be flexing.
have someone look at master while pushing/releasing clutch and
see if its flexing too much.
Ford had a major prob. w/ clutch masters flexing firewalls and a retro
bracket had to be installed to fix it.
