alright... i got a civic hatch with a b18, and my car wont go into any gear when the car is on... 1st, 2nd, 3rd, reverse, etc. they go in fine when the engine isnt running. i kno for sure the little rod thingy on the slave clutch cylinder is pushing against the release fork, and they both move. the clutch pedal feels kinda weak. i tried bleeding it, but that didnt help any. should i bleed the clutch more? i've heard the slave cylinder could be bad... or the pressure plate. does anyone else have any suggestions? preferably ones that dont have me droppin the transmission... but i'll take whatever helpful ideas u can give me. thanks.

i was gonna say check the slave cylinder, maybe not enough fluid.
