I am new to the forum and to Vetts.

So far, I have not had fun with the car. Now the I can't get the car into gear.

A member of the forum told me that I need to "bleed" the system as a possible solution. I received the instructions. Even though the instructions are not too complicated, I am ready for the task.

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in San Marcos, CA area or North County (San Diego)? I will need to tow the car and Dealers will just take my left kidney for it. So, a good Vett mechanic would be preferred.

At this point, when the motor is running. The clutch is Very soft almost 3/4 the way down, then it is just soft.

I checked the master cylinder and fluid is there. Over the weekend, the car worked fine. But now, I am lucky it I can get in gear from N. Even when the motor is not running, I can not get in R.
