2004 Hyundai Tiburon 2.7L clutch problem.?

My clutch won't go into 1st or 2nd unless I pump the clutch. I have had two tranny shops diagnose it and they say the hydraulics are fine (slave and master cylinders fine, no loss of fluid). However, I have read about people experiencing my problem because of air being in the clutch hydraulic system. I've read that even when you have a new slave and master cylinder that the bleeder valve on the slave has oftentimes fixed the problem. I've also read that the master cylinder could be blowing past the seals, or have weak seals. Given my symptoms, what do you think may be the problem with my car, especially given that I've been told my hydraulics are fine and I have no loss of fluid? I had my clutch assembly replaced 8,000 miles ago and had my flywheel resurfaced at that time too.

Thanks!

    When you're pumping the clutch pedal, you are building the pressure in the hydraulic system to what it suppose to be in order to push the pressure plate and perform a proper coupling with the engine. It is clear to me that this is a hydraulic problem indicating air bubbles (air gap) into one of the hydraulic system (slave or master cylinder). You will have to get a proper bleeding done and try it from there. A proper system bleed should correct your concern.

    The flywheel won't be able to be resurfaced, once you % a grab you in addition to mght % a $1200 flywheel. Automatics don't have a similar factors because of the fact the handbook tranny so no automatics don't have a similar difficulty.
