Here is the deal bought the car earlier this year from a listee. Bad clutch. Replaced clutch, and fired it up. Real stiff shifting. Now when i did the clutch, I pulled the transmission, installed clutch (his release bearing was literally melted and sideways in there...............it apparently broke a clip) new clutch slave cylinder, bled system, and have good clutch now. But of course now it is real stiff shifting. So stiff in fact that i really can't road test it.............we just drove it around a big parking lot. Any ideas and or suggestions?
