Default clutch problem?

my clutch feels really strange....

the clutch feeling is really hard compare on how it used to be, bleed the system and help alittle bit.

when I am cruising, gears are hard to put them in, all of them, when racing, its really really hard to put another gear, I have to wait like a second to make a shift.

also when my car is in first gear, and I press the clutch all the way down, sometimes the car starts shaking really bad, like its going to turn off?

what can it be?

What kind of fluid did you do the flush/bleed with?

Did you suck the old fluid out of the reservoir or did you push the old fluid through to the bleeder valve?

If you have air trapped in there, you'll get partial disengagement - leading to that shaking at idle. Rebleed the system to ensure that there isno air in the line.

I noticed a stiff pedal when my OEM clutch was getting old. Actually I was quite used to it and only noticed how stiff it was when I got in other S2Ks. After replacing the clutch assembly my pedal was much easier to push in. You may be getting close to needing a new one if your mileage/age is any indication but there is no way for me to know that without seeing the car and/or having it testdriven.

Sounds like the clutch is not releasing all the way.
