Default tranny problem

When I am pressing on the clutch I can't get my stick into gear or its really hard to get it in gear. When the car warms up it seams to be better but I have alot of play in the clutch pedal. Anyone know what this could be?

Clutch isn't disengaging completely. Bleed the hydraulic line between the clutch master cylinder and its slave cylinder.

I just went through the exact same thing. My problem ended up being a leak in the clutch cylinder. I bet if you look in your engine bay the clutch fluid is low. Pouring more in would be the simple fix, but it will obviously continue leaking. I ended up replacing the clutch cylinder and master cylinder since according to the technician "when one goes the other is soon to follow." Bottom line is it ended up costing $278.

It works great now.

That's odd. I wonder where the fluid went?

Does anyone have a diagram of where the master and slave cylinder are? It doesn't seem to be using the fluid. I am going to bleed the line to see if something is clogged up.
