When the car is off I have wonderful pressure In the gearshift smoother than I ever have since I've owned the car. When I start the car I lose some of the pressure And it becomes a major pain in the ass get in gear. This does not make sense to me

Man this has gone on long

I dont understand your last post about pressure. please re-phrase.

Didn't you say in your first post you have problems shifting EVEN when the car is off?

Stay with me here i'll find your problem.

I'm reading down the thread, you said you found a leaking master cylinder. I knew that would not fix it, as 95% of s2k CMCs leak.

If you have problems getting the car into gear ONLY with the engine running, there is only ONE problem: clutch disc drag.

There are a few causes for this...broken disc hub, disc installed backwards, hydraulics not dis-engaging completely, rusted spline.

Does the clutch pedal FEEL normal?

I hate to say it, but I think there is a problem with the clutch. Was the disc test-fit on the trans spline, to be sure it glides free? Did you have trouble getting the trans to go back in the car?

We did test fit the disc. It went on fine.. we greased the spline. And yes the trans was a bitch to get back on. But we figured out we were over tightening the pp. It work fine after we did everything.. not 100 percent but in the last few weeks was getting worse. Right now while the car is off it shifts perfect. I start it . Pressure isn't at firm on the pedal. And when I go to put it in gear it will nudge forward. Once in gear I only lift my foot a half inch.or less and its engaging

Ok so it hydraulics.

You cant bleed this slave cyl on the car.

Fill the master. Unbolt the slave cyl, point the bleeder straight up, and open it. Watch the air bubbles come out.

OR...try this trick: take a screwdriver, reach through the little rectangular window in the fork boot, and pump the fork and slave all the way back in and all the way out. do it 3 times. The air will go to the top of the res.

Then try your clutch.
