So i have a 02 altima se 5speed i have a issue with shifting..at first it sucked untill i changed the slave and master cylinder then it got better but its still there clutch is also good and i have bled it tons of times
So going from 1st to 2nd sucks sometimes and going into reverse also blows..if i try to step on it hard at a stop sign i will grind going into second. So what it feels like to me is a bad master cylinder but it has a brand new one anyone have this issue?
What seems to get around the shifting is if i press on the clutch hard and shift hard but it gets annoying every other car ive owned never shifted like this

Maybe needs new transmission fluid? I put amsoil gl-4 and it helps smooth it out.
