No, I bled it with a vacuum pump. And it is still hard and firm, makes for a nice leg work out. Problem is the datsun is my only vehicle. It's 3 buses to get to work and the bus shuts down before I get off, so a 10 mile walk home. *facepalm* Going to have to keep driving it until I can get in there and fix it, or take on a car payment so I can fix it. It does shift and drive fine, at least.
