it could be your clutch master cylinder. same thing happend to me. Check the linkage in the car that goes through the fire wall. if you see fluid around it thats it. i had a similar prob around 60k. Ait in the lines is still very possible. Are you loosing fluid?

Just bleed it by way of gravity. It seemed to do the trick.. till 20 min later it was the same way... maybe a I need to adjust the pedal?? Is there a way to do that?

You more than likely need a new clutch master cylinder. Or you have air getting in the system through your slave cylinder line.

No, don't adjust the pedal. If it was fine for a little while after you bled it, and then got worse, you either have a leak, or are getting air in the system somewhere.

How is your fluid level? Have you checked around the master cylinder for leaks?

im pretty surfe i am right but maybe i am not.. the clutch master cyclinder is where you are pouring the fluid into correct...

this are my symtoms:

1. first gear and reverse are a total bitch to get into.
2. i have the clutch to the floor and when putting into first the car will slightly roll forward.. im talking like very little bit.. almost like a little rocking motion.
3 i have tightened all the fittting that were touched when relacing slave cylinder and the line going to the slave. ( now steel braided)

what causes a clutch master cyclinder to go bad? will it just totally just go and not function? or will i be ok to drive on it till i can get it fixed?
