you need a new clutch its probably slipping.

the only problem ive had with it is going from 1st to 2nd it usually grinds even when i make sure i have the clutch pedal fully deperessed, itll do that only when its cold out when it starts to warm up itll stop doing that

That's not the only problem with it though. What you described in your original post is a slipping clutch. Your clutch is a wear item and will need replacement parts from time to time.

Edit - That is assuming your engagement zone is normal which I assume you would already know that.

Both what I wrote in the original post and the 2nd one is happening

throw out bearing?

Also I tried driving it today now it barely wants to catch in any gears and I started hearing this loud thumping noise

Awesome. What you haven't told us what you've done to find the problem... besides start a thread and ask us to diagnose it for you.

Try jacking it up and telling us what the problem is NOT if you know what I mean. First thing you mentioned is classic clutch slip. Loud thump could be anything from axles to tranny mount to motor mounts to any number of other things.

Wonder if your drain plug fell out(?) Get under there and take a look.

I said in my first post that night I was gonna go and try bleeding the clutch which I did and it did nothing, didn't see anything wrong when I looked down there now it'll barely catch in 1st gear I can put it in 5th at a stop and completely let go of the clutch and the car won't stall

So pull your damn clutch out.

Enjuku's prices are outrageous for a lot of things. Hopefully you shopped around a bit before ordering.

Regardless, I think a new clutch is just what the doctor ordered. Good news is pulling the tranny will give you an opportunity to change out the fluid and fix any other odds/ends in the process....

Since you are going with a stouter clutch, an upgraded pivot ball couldn't hurt... Circuit Sports pivot is about $20 IIRC and is supposedly stronger than Nismo... Fresh clutch fluid is always good too.
