These are the symptoms my car has:
1-extremely hard to shift from gear to gear
2-extreme rattling of the car when taking off about half of the time
3-small amount of fluid missing from the cluch fluid res.

I put a new clutch , pressure plate(both being act 2100), TOB (factory) and master cylinder (autozone) in it last summer/fall due to symptoms much like the ones im having now. However i didnt change the slave. The gears are not grinding it just takes a extreme amount of force to get it to pop into gear yet it will go into neutral easy enough. If Im sitting in neutral not moving i cant get all the gears to slide in like butter just like normal but if im roling and shifting gears i have the extreme resistance issue. Anyone got a opinon as to what this might be? I need to fix it as cheap and as fast as i can. The first thing that came to mind was the slave since i didnt change it. The reason i didnt change it was the cluch line going into the slave was ####ed up and i couldnt get it out of the slave, i would have to replace that entire part of the line and i just didnt really wanna do that at the time. Whats messed up with it is the nut has been rounded off on the slave side of the line so i cant get the line out of the slave. any help with this would be appriciated, im gonna go ahead and change the slave out if i can figure out what to do about the line, i dont even know where to get a replacement line.

And i forgot to mention that this didnt happen over time, it was perfectly fine one day then the next day it was like this.
