intermittent clutch problems.

Ok Im having clutch probs now.

After swapping transmisions with rx7_ragtop for the one out of his vert in exchange for helping him put T2 drive train in his. We bled the clutch and it seemed to be working. But sometimes now I need to double or triple clutch to change gears. But it only does this when i havent been using the clutch for a while, like when I first start or have been cruising down the hyway for a while. Last night at the track it didnt miss a step so I am really confused.

Could it be my Clutch Slave Cylinder?

Just hope it has to do with the clutch hydraulics, else it sounds like the pilot bearing is failing.

Yeah I would be looking at the cheap stuff first, like the clutch slave and master (sure you didn't get air back in there when you bled the slave?). Or there is a bent or pinched fluid line.

I am assuming that the tranny was fine in its last vehicle?
