Hi guys:

I have a 1995 s-10 pick up truck 4.3,... manual trasmission.and this is
the problem I'm having

I put new trans, new clutch, new pumps (master and slave) and when the
truck is cold, in the morning it works good, the way it should be, but
after 1\2 hour driving it, it is really hard to change the gear. At the
traffic light I even have to turn it off put the gear press the clutch
pedal start it and then I can drive it but really hard to sh.t.

Any ideas where to start? This is killing me. I also noticed that the
clutch pedal is softer after that 1\2 hour.

Thank you very much in advance. Any suggestion would really be
appreciate it.

Regards,

Arionardo.

I guess you mean master & slave cylinders. Did you bleed them? It sounds
like air trapped in the system

Yes that's what I meant master and slave cylinder. So is ti possible
that in the morning is good and still has air in it?
Is there another way to bleed them other that pumping the pedal and
open the bleeder at the slave cylinder and so on? I mean any type of
air sucker that you can attached to any cylinder and it takes the air
out of the system?

On hyd clutches I found that the best way is to press the pedel to the floor
and wedge it so it doesnt move and then open the bleeder on the slave cyl.
and let it drip for about 10 minutes, then tighten the bleeder and let the
pedel come up.

I fail to see how this would work. Be it a hydraulic clutch master or a
brake master if you depress the pedal the seals on the pistons move past the
return and compensating ports and fluid can not flow through the system. I
have done exactly what you suggest to keep a master from going dry when
changing calipers, wheel cylinders, hoses and even clutch slave cylinders.
