i bleed the clutch line and changed the slave cylinder.

how come on mine and my friends 240, after stepping down on the clutch pedal, i would have to wait a few seconds before i can go into first gear.

i feels like i have to wait a few seconds after depressing the clutch petal before i can get it into gear.

Read up on double clutching. If that doesn't help then your clutch may not be releasing all the way. If that's the case it will have problems in all gears, but 1st will be the most difficult since it has the largest difference in gear ratio.

what needs to be done if the wheels move.
what needs to be fixed?

also, what step of troubleshooting should i take if the wheels don't move at all?

i just wanna know so i don't keep coming on the computer while fixing my car.
i've got 2 s13's to cure.

thanks for the help!
