completely stopped for first gear

[Gsxxtacy98]

alright i have a 98 gsx and i recently have been having clutch problems, i kept gettin air in my lines. i replaced the master and slave. now i did a search for this but nothin came up, does anybody else have to be completely stopped to put it in first? cause i pretty much have to. or sometimes it will go into first smoother if i put it in first pull it out and put it back in again it will be smoother the second time. im probably still gettin air in my lines i dunno kinda paranoid. anybody have that same prob? not the non turbo's cause i had one and never had that problem with my n/t.

uum.. you probably shouldnt be downshifting to 1st anyway.... but if you must try to go into 2nd first, then 1st from there.....

Well I see no reason to put the car into 1st while rolling anyway. Is it affecting your shifting any other time? I know there is a safety thing where you cant go into first (or at least it doesnt make it easy) when your going like 20mph and higher or something. At least my car wont anyhow.

I dont have to be completely stopped, can put it in 1st goin about 5-10mph or so.
but what clutch do you have, how long you had, is it broken in ect. ect..................
