trouble putting in 1st and reverse from stop
 
What can cause it to be hard to put into first and reverse from a stop? Just bleed clutch a couple weeks ago? No problems shifting at wot. It goes in and does not grind but is hard after the car warms up? This problem came a while ago and had been gone, now it is back? It helps a little to double clutch, but not really.

My does the same infrequently, I just put it in 2nd to roll it a bit then it seems to go right into 1st. Not sure why it works but it does.

Mine does this as well, but its been like that since I bought it! Figured it was normal. I think I read that the Drill Mod solves this but I'm just guessing on that one.

Sounds like maybe a teeny bit of air still in the system - heats up and expands, now there's more air to be compressed resulting in borderline 1st or reverse? Just a guess.

Bleed your clutch.

Think that will solve my problems? Just had it bleed a couple weeks ago, did they not do a good job getting the air out because the fluid is nice and clean.

Don't know, try it out, your describing the exact symptoms of a clutch that is dragging. Most commonly that is due to air in the hydraulic system. Give it a shot. You said the problem came back and that can happen if it boils from heat or has a leak somewhere.

Definatley sounds like air in the system, I agree with the others that you should have the clutch system bled again. Good luck.. that air can be stubborn to get out sometimes.
