hey i have a 94 1.8 non-vtec ls, and for a while now since i have owned the car, its always been a little harder to put into each gear, for instance whenever shifting, or even when car is off and switching thru gears, it goes about 1/2 way in gear and i kinda have to pop it the rest of the way in, also when i start the car, without releasing the clutch, most of the time it wont go into reverse, i have to release the clutch, then press it back down and it will go into reverse. also once in a while, when in slow traffic or what not, from keep pressing n releasing the clutch, sometimes it feels like the clutch pedal isnt releasing all the way, the pedal still comes all the way up but when i press it back down it feels like it has more play in it, like it wont get harder to press where it should be, it gets harder a bit farther down. after pressing and releasing pedal a few times it usually fixes itself. but now today a new problem occurred. while driving, and pressing clutch in to switch gears, about 3/4 of the way down the clutch feels like it kind of jumps for a second like theres a bump in it, and say im driving in any gear, if i hold the clutch down and go to put it in the gear lower than that gear, example driving in 3rd go to 2nd, etc... you get the point, theres is a rubbing/ faint steady grinding noise. sound like something rubbing against clutch. im thinking i may have a slave cylinder issue but im really not sure, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
