This to me sounds like a clutch line problem. I recently replaced the clutch slave cylinder and bleed the clutch line and it improved my shifting into first problems. Bleeding the line is a bit of a pain, but isn't impossible to do.
There are some steps here which are pretty handy...
Thanks for the advice. I changed the clutch slave cylinder again to a better quality one and bleed the line again. It wasn't noticeably better, but strangely after leaving the car for a day or two the clutch position feels much better (around where I would expect it to be).
I bought my 1996 1.9L Z3 a year and a half ago (used obviously) and at the time had the front brakes replaced. I can't remember if the mechanic replaced the calipers, but the pads and rotors were replaced.
I recently went to a track event and now the brakes squeak just before I come to a stop...
Thanks for the input, I decided to give it a go bleeding again. The clutch definitely feels better today, but I still tried to bleed again. I ended up snapping off the bleed nipple so now I'm waiting on a better quality part to swap out.
I just replaced my clutch slave cylinder with [1] and bleed the clutch line on my Z3. My clutch pedal now engages the first millimeter after lifting it up. It wasn't like this before I replaced the slave cylinder and bleed the line. Any ideas if this is what it should be or if there is something...
