First of all I would just like to say thanks for all the help I've gotten from this forum. I joined about a month ago and have been saved a few times already with info I found here. This is my first time posting though.

Anyway, I have a 2000 cougar, 2.5 MTX. About two weeks ago the clutch master cylinder went while I was driving and I got a pretty good grind when I tried to shift into first gear. I've had the master cylinder replaced by the dealer and they bled the clutch twice but now I'm still getting a little bit of grinding when I shift into first. If I clutch in shift into second and then into first it doesn't grind at all but only if I am stopped completely. Double clutching doesn't help and shifting in other gears doesn't seem as smooth as it used to be. The dealer told me they took a look at the clutch and it looked good. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Ryan
