ANY TIME you open the clutch hydraulic system or hydraulic brake lines, you HAVE to bleed the system. PERIOD!

...now maybe since the clutch slave line will be dripping down with brake fluid, when LTBMW put the new valve on, there wasn't a lot of air entering the system. Or maybe the few air bubbles worked their way back up to the brake resivior!?

BUT no matter what... there was SOME air getting in there. No way around that. So it just might be with some miles, he will need to bleed his clutch slave. My bet is sooner rather than later!

Good Luck,
