UPDATE!!! Struggling w/1st and reverse

Let me start off by saying I am a 986 newbie. If this was my 656 912, I'd be all over it.

Purchased a pressure bleeder as suggested, followed all directions; bled both ports on all brakes and bled the slave cylinder last. However, it semi fixed the problem.

- With the car off, the car shifts like a hot knife through butter.
- Once the car is running, it is still difficult, but not impossible to get it into 1st or reverse.
- If the car is rolling in 2nd, I can down shift with out to much difficulty.
- If at a complete stop, it's very difficult to get into 1st.

One last piece of data, when I pump the clutch pedal, it sounds as if the fluid reservoir cap is sucking air. I put a piece of plastic over the opening, screwed the lid down. No more sucking sound.

Any suggestions? Wife still not happy!!!
