      Low clutch pressure

      Just had a new (used) tranny and clutch put in my '06 Aveo, and got it back from the shop today. Everything seems to work fine, except the clutch pressure is noticably lower than before. Is that normal? Being hydraulic, I was wondering if there could be air in the line. Is that a possibility?

      have the system bleed, make sure it is done correctly, through procedure, and it should solve this if there is no other problem with reassembly.

      Is this a DIY job? Would be nice not to have to take it to the shop again.

      it can be diy, but imho, the shop should have done it as part of the clutch install.

      Thanks. I don't think the shop wants to see me again, as we had a dispute over some of the charges. So I may try it myself. I've bled brakes before, so I assume it's similar.
