ok... so after i spent about five or six days putting in my new clutch. I finally got to test it out, i started her up and to no avail.... i cant get the car into gear...any gear... i bled the clutch again... and same thing... so i thought it could have been my slave cylinder and so i went and bought a new one... installed it... bled it... and same freaking thing... anyone know whats going on? i can put the car in gear when its off... but i turn on the car and depress the clutch and it wont go into any gear... and the clutch doesnt feel right... please help... this is driving me freaking insane!!!!

 

How does the clutch pedal feel? When you try to put it into gear does it grind or juust not want to go into gear? When you removed the tranny did you take the linkage off the shifter or the tranny?

 

Money says it's a linkage problem, I did something similar in my Saab

 

That's what I was thinking.

 

yes i did remove the linkage... im pretty sure its the clutch in that it wont go all the way to the floor.. like it normally does... any possibility that i put it back together wrong? maybe i tightend the pressure plate too tight?... how would i fix the linkage if it is the problem? thanks

 

money says you didn't line the plate up

 

and when i try to put it in to gear it the car starts to nudge forward... if its 1-5 and it i try to put it in reverse it starts to move in reverse... but it doesnt grind... it just wont go into gear... its like the clutch is ingauged all the time...

 

clutch plate alignment mate, what tool did you use to set the clutch up ( you cant just throw it in there and expect it to operate you know ) it has to be lined up with the gearbox input shaft

 

you couldnt even get the trani back on the engine if the clutch wasnt aligned right.... next possible answer....

 

fact is you can it forces the input shaft back and could damage the transmission and seals fact
