I just got my car back from gettng a new engine put in it (i blew the last engine) and before my clutch had pressure that I liked and felt comfortable with, after driving my car back today I noticed immediately that their was very little pressure in the clutch. (Very easy to press), I was wondering if this was something that the auto body did wither it b getting air in the line or what.

HI there,

Thank you for the donation,

Was a new clutch installed with the engine job? Normally the hydraulics are not disturbed when the engine & transmission is removed as you can unbolt the slave still attached to the pips and lay it to one side. If it was it just may need bleeding, ids it changing ok? May be the clutch pivot was getting sticky and it has been re lubed with the engine out freeing it up? Check with the repairer and ask what if anything was done to the clutch.
