Can someone out there help me with a problem I am having with my clutch. I have just replaced the clutch plate and cover plate. And now although its not slipping it is very hard to get in and out of gear. It did this to an extent before I replaced the parts and the problem hasn't been cured with the replacement. I have had it bled and the problem is slightly worse. Is the problem lightly to be the master cylinder or the slave cylinder? The mechanic who bled the system says that the master cylinder is ok.

Is there any adjustment at the slave cylinder end?

Also does anyone know of a web site that I can use to get workshop manual information as well?

Thanks for any help that someone can give me, as already spent heaps of money on this problem, and I would like to see this problem solved.
