Still having a weird clutch problem! please help

[Pozobyt]

Okay, so all of a sudden the other day, it started to become increasingly difficult to shift gears. It didn't grind, it was just hard to shift, then all of a sudden, stopped being able to get it into gear all together.

When the car is off, I can shift into all gears easily, just like it was before while the car was running.

I have a new slave cylinder, clutch and TOB are all new. If I let the car sit for awhile, I can shift into gear, but it still isn't very easy. But it doesn't grind or anything. then after a few minutes, it stops being able to go into gear. I can start it in first, but if I try to shift to any other gear, it just grinds a little into neutral, then wont let me shift into any other gear.

Also, my clutch seems to have gotten a little more stiff than it was. My master cylinder isn't leaking, but I thought maybe it's bad anyway, and isn't holding pressure?

The slave appears to be moving enough to disengage the clutch, but I'm not sure. It might be on the brink of disengaging, but can't quite get there. the clutch fork seems to be pointing slightly to the drivers side of the car.

That's a clutch hydraulic problem. If you've replaced your slave, it's probably your master. Check up by the clutch pedal for leaking brake fluid. Check your connections at the master and slave. A loose slave cylinder connection can also cause this problem.

Fill your clutch reservoir and pump the clutch a few times to help shift into gear easier.

Flushing your clutch and brake fluid every two years can help with this sort of thing. Brake fluid absorbs water that can collect in the bottom of all your hydraulic components. Regular brake fluid flushes help.

Could it still be the master even though I can't see it leaking anywhere?

It could be. pull back the rubber boot if you can. if you see fluid leaking there, then that's it for sure.

Check your clutch line connections with a wrench.

Alright I'll have to check it in the morning because it's dark right now. The connections are pretty tight.
plus, if the clutch connections were off, it'd be leaking fluid wouldnt' it?

i guess you can try bleeding the clutch a bit...it's always better to do the easy things first before you start tearing things apart in the tranny/clutch area.
