aight guys this is getting more irritating. once the car is warmed up I am sitting at the light and the gears are a bit more notchy than usual and when i have the clutch pedal depressed and the car in gear you can hear the cluctch going "a glonk----glonk glonk----a glonk" and the car starts to shudder foward a bit as if the clutch is catching the flywheel somehow just a bit. I checked all of my hyrdo's and they are a fairly new as well and that doesnt do anything nor am I losing fluid. I put redline in her last week and made no different. i would say my clutch not fully disengaging would probably be causing me to have a notchy shift. So other than hyrdraulics what would cause this? Shifter fork bent?

I would say check all the hydraulics again, bleed it, etc. If it still occurs, you might see about replacing the flexhose with some stainless braid from Mazdatrix.

yeah but would a hose make that much of a difference? And would something inside the clucth area like the shifter fork cause it to do so?

More than likely, something is is not right inside the bell housing. I suggest taking the tranny out and eyeballing the clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing....

I one had one of those springs inside the clutch disc take a crap and that caused some strange noises until the thing flew apart!

Sounds like a problem only disasembly can fix. To me from just what you have explained, it sounds as tho the presure plate is acting up. Maybe the throw out bearing isnt doing its job and has worn the fingers down. I saw where a throw out bearing started freezing up, making noise, and as the fingers started to wear down, it would slowly engage the clutch as they couldnt reach any more to disengage it. Just my .02c tho.

there is an ajustment inside the car on the pedal! takes 5 min 10 and 12 mm

no i have done that before....and i am starting to agree on the throwout bearing, it does make a nice noise, especially when not warmed up. When bored at the light I usually press the clutch in and out to make musix out of it lool. SO hmm, throw out bearing huh? Not too hard to fix i suppose

Another idea. Before removing the tranny, power bleed it, (the clutch). I make my own one man bleeders. Take a pickle jar, glass, and drill two small holes in the lid. Go get a small metal brake line at the local parts store, Around $2.00. Cut the line in two and insert both pieces into the holes. Bolt them if you can, you want to make an air tight seal, Might use silcone or RTV type. Buy 20' of vacum line and cut 5' off and hook to one of the 2 metal brake lines in the lid, the remaining 15' to the other metal brake line. Attach the long hose to a vacum port on this car of pull up another vehicle and hook to a vacum port. Get under the car and hook the 5' line to the bleeder screw. Now losen the bleeder screw until you see fluid coming out. Shut the bleeder off and remove. You are done. This will remove the pesky bubble in the hydraulic lines that moves down with the pedal but back up again with the pedal when you "pump and bleed". This also works on the fuel tank for a safe way to drain it. You can see the color of the fluid and don't stop until it looks like the fluid you are putting in. This has saved a major brake caliper that made the veh. pull hard to one side. Regular "pump and bleed" didn't fix it. This pulls all the old fluid out and puts all new fluid in sucking the small air bubbles out as well. It is also easy to do by yourself. I recomend using a different vacum source,(different car), as i hate being under one when it is running.

Check your slave cylinder, I'm not sure if you replaced it or not.
