    Well lately, the car has had trouble going into gear, specifically 1st and reverse. Ive changed the tranny fluid, topped the level of clutch fluid, and bled it a couple times.

    Yesterday the clutch was adjusted, and the car seemed to go into gear fine, but the car wouldnt start (clutch would hit the bypass or whatever its called). So readjusted it today and im back to my original problem. Any ideas on what this could be? Bad slave cylinder maybe?

    If you have time tommorow bring it by my office and I'll check it out.

    I'm surprised that bleeding it did not help. With the clutch setup on an STi pretty much the only way it wouldn't completely disengage is if there wasn't enough throw on the clutch fork. This really points to a hydraulic issue.

    I have the same symptoms as above plus every now and then I get a crunch going into third. Everything else is smooth as butter. I didn't touch anything other than fresh Extra S.
