Default still having trans problems

I changed the fluid in the trans had the clutch looked at. I'm still having the same problems. I can not get into reverse at all and I have force it in to first. It feels like my clutch is getting really soft and it doesn't engage until it's pressed to the floor. I'm going to bring it in sometime this week and have it checked and fixed. I'll post some updates when I find out what the problems is.

Yeah, you need to look at the clutch hydraulic system. Could be a leak (low on fluid), could be air, could be a bad slave/master cylinder. This has nothing to do with the gearbox oil.

Keep bleeding the clutch until you have complete pressure back. If you can find a "super sucker" machine to hook up to the slave cylinder, while someone pours brake fluid into the resorvoir (don't let it go dry), that's the best way to get all the air out. Your transmission will never work right until you bleed all the air out of the clutch fluid.

I guess I'll find out this week. Hopefully whatever it is will be solved quickly and I can go on enjoying the car.
