ok, so my gsx is my first stick shift and i love it! but when i got the car the slave cyl. went out and i replaced it, and had to bleed it a few times before it was done right, but the pedle has been kinda spoongy since. i plan on having it bled again but my problem as of now is, when the car is COLD it shifts great, just like bitter and drops into gear fine, except reverse it usually always grinds going into reverse, GRRR. ok now to the odd part, when the car gets warm it starts being a utter pain in the A$$ going into first gear, takes a few tries of letting the clutch up and trying to push it into gear before it goes. even then it's still really hard and feels like rubber or something is stopping it. the car just got new MACHV shifter cable stiffeners on the trans and i have the symborski shift kit ready to go in, but none of the master techs i know seem to know what could be causing this, maybe bad trans syncros?

could use any and all help. thanks guys!
 
Sounds like it needs to be rebled. However, many times when the slave goes, the master isn't far behind. Check for fluid leaking from the master inside the car or fluid in the dust boot of the master. If there is no fluid, I would say that it just needs to be bled again. If there is fluid you need to change your master cylinder as well.
 
don't know what fluid is in it, i plan on draining the trans and refilling it with fluid. any suggestions on fluid? will also re bleed the system and see if that helps, will post back on the results
