IN THE MORNINGS THE CLUTCH FAILS TO ENGAGE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SHIFT FROM NEUTRAL INTO 1ST GEAR. THE CLUTCH HAS TO BE "PUMPED" SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR AGAIN. AFTER LONG PERIODS OF DRIVING THE SHIFTING OF GEARS IS MORE DIFFICULT SPECIALLY FROM FIFTH TO SIXTH GEAR, SOMETIMES THE SIXTH GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL KICK BACK TO FIFTH GEAR. EITHER AIR BOUND FROM THE FACTORY OR MASTER CYLINDER OR OTHER UNION LEAKING IS CAUSING THE CLUTCH TO NEED TO BE PUMPED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE/DISENGAGE. ALSO AT TRAFFIC STOPS AFTER LONG PERIODS OF DRIVING THE IDLING CAN BECOME A LITTLE ROUGH SINCE IT SEEMS AS IF THE CLUTCH IS NOT HOLDING THE CLUTCH IN THE DISENGAGED POSITION.
