Recently replaced the master and slave cylinder, but still have an issue. When sitting for a few minutes with the engine running, at times I cannot shift into gear. Shutting the engine off allows me to shift and then I can start in gear and move on. But the clutch pedal pressure is always affected when this occurs. Barely releasing the clutch causes the car to start moving. After driving for a few seconds and going through the gears, everything seems to get back to normal. I had a garage look at the master cylinder to make sure it was bled properly and they said it was. I'm still skeptical about that, but at any rate, I still have a problem. This issue can also be exposed when driving hard through the gears on takeoff. But backing off and driving normally seems to bring everything back into an acceptable and seeming normal mode, pedal pressure, play, and all. Any suggestions? Thanks

 

Worn or damaged clutch pressure plate can cause these symptoms.

First check that slave cylinder is fully extending when clutch is depressed. If not there is a problem w/ slave or master cylinders.

If slave extends fully w/ depressed clutch a damaged pressure plate is likely.

good luck
