hard 2 get in gear??? i have a 98 ls1 z28 6 speed n ive had it for about a month and a half. when I bought it the dealer said the person who owned it before me replaced the clutch right before he sold it. for the past week now it has been really hard 2 get it into all the gears. im pretty sure its the clutch hydraulic system because if you're in gear and release the clutch just a hair it will start movin.. sometimes you dont even have 2 release the clutch.. so im pretty sure theres air in the hydraulic system... the bad part is that i have no idea how 2 bleed the system. no bleeder valve 2 been seen or obvious place 2 bleed it from. got any ideas?????

there should be a bleeder valve above the hydraulic line thats going to the slave cylinder. If they did the clutch hopefully they replaced the slave cylinder, maybe your clutch master cylinder is going. try pumping the clutch pedal few times in between the gears.

If the clutch is dropping to the floor or "dead pedal" then there's air in it. If you're not getting those symptoms, then it's a warped clutch disk. Maybe he didn't torque it right or machine the flywheel. The bleeder valve is a major pita to get to, try going to a local auto store and getting a mighty vac. With that you can bleed it from the reservoir in the bay.
