Default more problems

So I got back from being deployed for 7 months and my car is giving me hell. When I first start it, it's difficult to put into gear, especially reverse. Once the car has been driven around for a bit everything feels fine. Today when I was moving the car to wash it, I found it difficult to put into 1st gear. As I depressed the clutch and pushed the shifter towards 1st I noticed the car start to move forward slightly. I took pressure off the shifter and the car stopped moving. I tried it again and the same results. What the hell is going on here. I put a OZ700 and all new hydraulics around 15k miles ago. Help me out please.

Sounds like your slave cylinder is going out. Bleed the hydraulics and see if it gets better. Did you replace the master 15k miles ago?

Default bleeding

I think I would start with bleeding the hell out of it. I took mine out of storage after just 4 months and my fluid had so much moisture in it that straight water came out the first time I cracked the bleeder screw. My hydraulics are original and need to be replaced anyway, but at least bleeding it made it driveable.
