Question Clutch problems.

I am having trouble getting my car to go into gear. I replaced the pilot bearing, that wassn't it. My clutch line was swollen and crappy, so i replaced that with a stainless one from mazdatrix, and that isn't the problem. I bled the system real good, made sure no air was getting into the system. I also tried adjusting the free play where, it would work, but then it would fix it self it seemed like and would not work again like usual.

Any ideas? I can put it into gear but it's tough. If i pump the clutch a lot sometimes it seems to help a bit. But it's acting like it's not getting enough pressure.

Should have changed the clutch master and slave cylinder when you changed the lines and bleed the system. Can you change gears easy when the car isn't running? Worn clutch disc won't make shifting hard, it will make moving hard. Car won't accelerate away from a red light if clutch disc is worn too much. It will slip, meaning when you give it gas, the engine will rev up like there is no load on it, but the car will slowly move forward like the clutch and flywheel are barely engaged.
