Default What happened????

Ok....here is what happened:

1) I was sitting at the light with my foot on the clutch (on the floor) and the trans in neutral.

2) A friend of mine showed up next to me and started revving so of course I had to "reply" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

3) A couple of revs of up to 5000 RPM

4) light turned green and I went to push the shifter into 1st but it strained to go in gear (almost like the clutch was not fully dissingauged)

5) got it into gear and then the release point was way off (too high)

6) going into second was painful, strained to go into gear.

7) third started to get better and by fourth everything was fine.

8) the rest of the way home, the clutch was "normal" (as close as it could be after that)


what the he** happened <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> ????? Its a stock clutch and hydrolic system. I bled it a few weeks ago but I KNOW I did not get any air in it. I was under the car turning and my dad did the pettal (just draining old fluid).
