I was wondering if folks could help me out with this one.  My car seems to be
having issues with the clutch.  Here are all the symptoms so far:

- Gear lever is hard to pull into neutral after sitting over-night (initial
pull)
- Car seem to pull forward slightly (with clutch in) in initial start-up, then
no problem
- Gear lever gets hard to pull out of 3rd gear after trans warms up (no issue
when cold)
- No problems shifting into ANY gear
- No grinding sounds at all
- Trans shifts perfectly when cold

I bled the clutch the other day and noticed air bubbles in the bleeder line
when my buddy pumped the clutch.  I can't help but think the seals in the MC
might be bad.  I would like to verify before I order this $150 part though. 
Thanks
