So I tried looking around on the forum and did't see anything. However My 1991 300zx TT clutch/ transmission is messing up. My car has a Z1 clutch and flywheel 6 puck sprung I also replaced my master cylinder with pbr master off z1 website. I also replace the slave cylinder and the line from the master to the slave with the one single ss line and a speed bleeder. I bleed slave yet my car still will not going into gear when cold after it warms up it shifts a lot better. I also upgraded my clutch fork. Please Help this problem has stump me and making me want to sell my car.

Are you only bleeding the slave? That could be your problem. There's also a bleed point on the master cylinder, and another one on the passenger side fender. (Assuming LHD)

Wait, never mind, I haven't bled a Z in so long I forgot there isn't one on the master.

One thing to make sure is that you are keeping the fluid level high while bleeding. As few as 3 pump cycles can get the fluid level low enough to suck air, and when you go to fill it, you won't even know air got sucked in, because the level is still far above the suction point.

Also, those speed bleeders can cause more problems than they solve. I'd get a friend and do it the old fashioned way.
