Hi I have an acura integra 98 manual transmision. and my problem is that when im driving i press down on the clutch pedal and it makes a grinding noise causing my gears not to go in i recently changed my master slave cylinder. But didnt fix the problem.. also when im slowing down and i try to go in neutral i press on the clutch pedal and it gets hard and it grinds The only way to go back into neutral is to step on the gas pedal with the clutch pressed in.. also sometimes when im on idle i try to put in the gear and they wont go in unless i pump the clutch pedal
