Okay, here's a little history...A few months ago I replaced my throwout bearing and adjusted my clutch master cylinder push rod. Everything has been fine since then. In the last couple weeks, about 3 or 4 times, I start the car, and it won't go into gear, even trying to force it, I am afraid to push too hard because I don't want to bend/brake anything. Each time this has happened, I pump the clutch pedal aobut 15-20 times, and then it works perfectly. So I am thinking I probably need to bleed it right? Well today, I get in and it does the same thing. I have my foot all the way on the clutch and it wont go into gear. I sit there for a few seconds, foot still down, not moving anything, and all of a sudden I hear two clicks from somewhere down under the hood. It sounded almost like a relay clicking twice. As soon as I hear the clicks, I try to shift, and it is smooth as hell, perfect shifiting from that point on. Any idea what the hell the clicking I heard was? I have never heard it before, and I haven't heard it since, and I drove the car a few times after that. The last time it gave me problems again, but started working after I pumped it for a minute, no clicks heard though. I am at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dale :talon:
 
I haven't checked for leaks, but the fluid doesn't appear to have down at all. I will double check the slave cylinder in the next couple days.
