Default transmision or clutch?

long time ago where the clutch fluid goes, it was all the way empty, so I drove it like that for 3 miles to get the brake solution, after that my clutch was harder to press, I didnt put that much attention and kept driving like that...

one month later, again, the clutch fluid was gone, refill it and kept driving, that happened like 3 or 4 times, but the clutch is really hard to press, I went to test drive my friends 04 s2k and the clutch was so soft and smooth...

yesturday I was going to the lake and it was really hard to change gears, not only one, but all of them, including reverse...

what can I do?? wheres the problem?

thanks in advance

Obviously the system is airbound.

Clean it out with paper towels till it's squeaky clean, then refill it.

It will likely need to be changed a few times, then the leak under the dash will stop

Bleeding is another story, find my posts

ok, I did the bleedding and nothing....

then I was racing a mustang and i went third gear, fourth gear until redline but when I tried to shift to fifth it didnt went nowhere, tried six gear, nothing, i got scare, tried fourth gear again (not racing anymore) and nothing, pull up on the highway and tried first, nothing, gears where not going anywhere, i was like a mile away from my house

turned off the car, and gears where working, put it in second gear and started driving the car, switch to third gear and went home like that....

change the slave cylinder and now is back like it was before, whenever i am going first gear all the way to redline and try to shift to second its really hard, the clutch its alot harder to press like when i bought the car...

the main problem is switching to second, wheneve i am going on third gear on 40 miles and tried to switch to second its nearly imposible, all the gear are hard to go in, but second is the worse, i mean the car is driveable, but it should be like that

should I bleed it one more time?

its the clutch? or the transmision ???


bye

Are you saying you replaced your slave cylinder? If so, was it easy to depress the clutch pedal when the bleeder valve is open? If so and you have a new slave cylinder, you probably have a problem with your clutch - possibly dry/damaged splines, along with bubbles in your lines.

If it's still hard to press with the bleeder valve open, you have a problem with your clutch master cylinder.
