its also possible to have a worn clutch. there are numerous reasons the car might be hard to shift, 1st I would see if there is fluid in the clutch reservoir, then the inside of the master(inside meaning the inside of the car)

Getmadboy....your problem is air in the clutch fluid.

Thanks for the replies! I checked the master and slave and there are no leaks from master/slave cylinder under or inside the car. I checked the reservoir and it seemed a tad bit low. I filled it up and the clutch feels great now! I'm glad the problem seems to be solved, but would ~4 ounces of missing fluid in the reservoir really make a difference like that?

Hopefully I won't have to worry about this again anytime soon, but I forsee a full bleed/new fluid change in the not too distant future...

4 ounces is a lot

getmadboy

Maybe a little less, but yeah I guess that's a lot to be missing. It's all good now though!!

trAP2

thats good to hear.

Yeah mine had the same problem, I thought I needed a new clutch but turned out that it just needed fluid! You might want to check it every oil change or so cuz mine gets low every oil change and I looked behind the pedal and mine has no leaks I have no Idea where it goes

Hmm maybe I should've tried filling up my reservoir before doing a tranny/diff/regrease shifter

Noob question, what kind of fluid do you recommend I use?

trAP2

synthetic dot 3 brake fluid

I am assuming this problem is not covered under 100k warranty?
