Clutch not fully disengaging when cold

For some reason when i start my car and it's cold, i push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor and it won't let me put the car into gear. And one time I forgot to put the car into neutral and put the clutch to floor and the car lurched forward a tiny bit like it was in gear, but not fully, it would still start and when I disengaged the e-brake the car would slowly roll forward. But after I let the car warm up for a bit it will let me put it into gear and it won't roll forward at all. I've heard that this could possobly be just air in lines since it only does this when it's cold. Oh, and I searched and I couldn't find anything specific for my situation, just situations where this would happen warm or cold. I'm hoping it just needs bled.

My 93 toyota truck would do that. I do not know if your problem is the same as mine, however, a minor adjustment fix the problem in my case. Hope this helps.

the only thing that I know that you can adjust is how early or late the clutch will disingauge / engauge. Basically how far you have to push it for it to do something. If yours is not disengauging you might want to go under the dash where the clutch pedal is, and screw out the bar that goes from your clutch pedal, through the firewall, and to the clutch master. This will allow for your clutch to be pushed in further, pulling the clutch further way from the flywheel more. Basically making it seem like you can press your clutch in a little further.

That is the only tip I can give.

PS, I have mine set so that it disengauges after I push it in more then 1 inch, just, tap and your into the next gear. I also have a 6 puck though, I tried doing it with my stock cluch and it didnt go so well, way to soft. (even after adjusting it)
