I suddenly began having problems with my clutch. The pedal bottoms out very easily. The transmission will go into gear but, upon stopping, the clutch will not disengage the transmission from the engine and the stick shift must very forcibly be yanked out of gear in to neutral. I have just replaced the slave cylinder and bled the system with no luck. What should I do next?

Hi there,

I would be checking the master cylinder next.Check for fluid out the rear at the push rod under the dash.
