So i took the car out today and i noticed its really harf to put it into gear, it feels almost like something is blocking it and i have to force it in, also it would not got into 1st for me a bunch of times it would just grind, 3rd grinded a little too, and reverse. Does it sound like the transmission or adjusting? I'm going to check fluid level here tonight also ehen I try to force it into gears my rpms drop slightly.
 
So im following jacks videos in adjusting the clutch and mine is weird first I started with the switch like he said mines backed out completely and it hits the bolt that the switch screws into, next I did the rod behind the pedal I went clockwise as he says and the rod fell out of the threaded part from being backed out before the valve ever shut as the video shows. I tried screwing the back side of the pedal completely tight till it hit the back of the pedal and its still not closing the bleeder valve what should I try?

Okay so i adjusted it and i went to push the fork to see of the bleeder is closed came back to the car and my clutch pedal fell to the floor, i didnt do anything other then adjust the rod a little bit and push on the fork...
 
I'd checked for failed or failing master and or slave cylinders. This kind of sounds like a hydraulic problem.

Lol no worrys! Good news is i said screw all these write ups looked it over figured out how to do it, no more grinding shifts smooth as ever!!!
What ended up being the problem, we always like to know the solution.
 
It would hard to explain without doing a write up I basically wiggled the pedal and adjusted the rod till It didnt have any play and was not forcing the pedal to stopped to early then adjusted to switch to it. If anyone is having issues I can give them a better detail for what helped me. Now my question is this morning I get in the car and my pedal had 1/2 pressure. I pumped it a few times and it was fine. Do I need to bleed it more?
 
You sure you don't have a master cylinder leaking past it's seals or just plain at the end of it's life span?
