    Hey Everyone,
    Im having an issue shifting my car into gear while stopped. This seems to happen when the car is warmed up and I can feel the engagement point of the clutch is closer to the floor when I do get it into gear. The car is a 2005 sti with 95xxx miles, act street clutch with stock flywheel. I have beed reading on nasioc about possible solutions but whenever someone figures out the problem the don't post the solution. Water in the lines? I don't see a external leak so is an internal leak possible?
    Any help is very much appreciated!!

    How many miles are on the clutch? Was there any recent maintenance done to the clutch?

    I did bleed it, but fluid looks old. I should flush it but have never done it so I would like someone who knows what there doing to supervise.

    Did you follow the proper break-in procedure? Neglecting to break in your clutch disc is a good way to glaze your disc over.
    Was your flywheel resurfaced when the clutch was replaced?
