| Just trying to help anyone if they have the same issue. My car has a fairly new clutch(20K miles). I have bled the clutch system several times due to: -The car grinding when shifting and not wanting to go into or out of gear at times. -Random changes of clutch pedal engagement when driving -Having to push the clutch in several times before it would go into gear. It turned out to be a bad clutch master cylinder. There was no external leaking which is why I overlooked it to begin with. I also overlooked what the fluid looked like when I would bleed it. It would be dark each time I did it, I didn't realize that that was a bad thing, but it is. It also had small black particles in it, which I assume are pieces from the inner seals of the CMC. After replacing the CMC (15 min job) I re-bled at both points(I had to take the screw out of underhood bleed point out and lift it up to get the rest of the air out when bleeding), adjusted the pedal, and now it shifts like new again. Just figured I'd post so if someone is searching this might come up.
