        Sounds like you have some air bubbles in there somewhere. Time
to rebleed.
Difficulty getting into first gear means the clutch is not releasing
fully, so
your diagnosis sounds pretty much right on.

New clutch, plate, T/O, fork pins, master & slave.  Shifting trouble 
into first, but only sometimes.  Seems to happen when I'm driving in 
traffic at red lights.  Clutch gets all soft, won't disengage properly. 
 If I let off, then push back down, I can feel hydraulic pressure 
building back up.  Sometimes one pump will do it, two always will.  

HELP!  Does this sound like I need to re-bleed it?  Defective master?  
Defective slave?  I'm almost certain it is a hydraulic problem, becasue 
all the inside stuff is new.

Suggestions?

Kevin
