Randy: Thanks for the info. I passed it on to my buddy with the car and he said the guy that sold it to him told him to bleed and adjust the clutch as well (that must have been where I got "air in the lines" from). It gets harder to get into gears after the car has been driven for awhile and is warmed up (that's why he thinks it's fluid realted). He said he thinks it could be 1 of 2 things: The clutch needs to be bled (he thinks he may have introduced air into the system when installing the 5.0) because after the fluid warms up, the clutch may not be completely disengaging. Or, the Hydraulic slave cylinder is failing and needs to be replaced.
My friend with the car said the guy that sold it to him gave him a nice discount off the price so he could get it taken care of, so now I don't feel so bad for him. He's a member here (he's the one that turned me on to this forum since he knew I was in the market for a car) and he said that the guy that sold him the car is a member also (so he told me not to mention any names!). He's happy with the car and feels like he got a fair price, so I guess that's all that counts. I just hope he can get it fixed for spring! I can't wait to go for a ride - then shop for one of my own!
