Hello today i had taken my car to an electrical shop and when i took it out the shop and went to drive it suddenly i could only use 3rd and 4th gear. I took it back and asked who drove it and he said he had no problem pulling it out and he said it sound like to me your clutch isent disgengaging or engaging right. So i went home and bleeded*? the blutch cylinder and it dident do it at first so i tried again and it worked. It is still kinda hard to get it in 1sr gear when im over my idle revs(750). Now when im driving along in 3rd 4th and 5th and i push a little and go over 3500 RPMs it stops pulling and just revs untill i let off and put it back on slowly. this is rrally pissing me off anyone know anything about this or if you have anyother questions just feel free to ask me and i can tell you. Help Much appreciated.

You might want to check the clutch pedal free play. It should be 1.0 - 3.0 mm (0.039 - 0.118 in). Hold a ruler against the floor and up to the top of the pedal pad. Take a reading on the ruler at the pedal pad in the resting position. Now push on the pedal pad very gently until resistance is felt; at this point take the new reading on the ruler. Subtracting the two readings will give you the free play spec. To adjust the clutch pedal free play, adjust the pushrod for the clutch master cylinder which is located under the dash at the top of the pedal assembly. The pushrod has a locknut which must be loosened. Now the pushrod can be adjusted.

sounds to me like your clutch is slipping, possibly a worn clutch disc?
