Here's your problem: Since your getting stiff shifts, there's air inside your clutch system. Check the Slave cylinder where the line is connected where your bleeder is. Check that line to see if it's tightly connected. Thats the first thing you check after you have done bleeding it and still have stiff shifts. Try adding Redline Transmission fluid in to soften the shifts. Get the stainless steel lines installed. Try other methods to see if its your transmission or clutch problem.
