hard to get into 1st
my car is kinda hard to get into 1st gear sometimes like at red lights or anytime the car is stopped mostly it doesnt happen all the time but most of the time and my clutch fluid is full and clutch is about 80% life, could slave cylinder have anything to do with this?

Your clutch m/c could be leaking internally or you could have air in the line. Those are two educated guesses based on the information given. Next time you try to put it into first, try stepping on the cluch 3 times with moderate speed, then engage first. Let us know what happens.

no. it doesnt go in at all if the clutch is out. usually it is hard to get into 1st. and grinds alittle going into reverse. i will try this cable adjustment. TY

its more then likely the kind of transmission oil you use. I swtiched from standard 10w-30 to honda tranny fuild and its much easier to get into 1st expecially while cold.
