I can’t find a photo of a sectioned 75 model valve, it does appear from photos that the 75 has a proportioning spool in the rear line.
I do not see how the valve could cause the soft pedal, unless the fail section has shuttled and has trapped air in the line. If this was the case one set of calipers will not bleed any volume of oil.
If you remove the valve . I’d pull it apart to investigate how it functions.
jimandemma:
OK, will do. Might be a while though.

I agree Bob, if the valve has failed then the front or rear circuit should not bleed any fluid. If the switch piston has moved it should also bring up the brake warning light.
