I just put a brnad new act clutch and pp and fidanza flywheel in and broke it in properly, it drove fine then today i couldnt get it in gear and i finaly got it in and the clutch started to grab even in nuetral, then i let off the clutch pedal and floor it and it slips? this is really annoying me as i just bought this

 

it seems like the clutch isnt moving enough, like its not engaging fully or degaging fully, could it be the throwout bearing? I checked the fluid and it seemd ok, need help please, need my car for school

is this cable or hydraulic ?? you sayd it grabs in nuetral ? sounds like adjustment is off or the throwout bearing is pushing on the presure plate all the time......

 

The first thing that came to mind was the throwout bearing. Hopefully you changed it when you changed your clutch and didn't use your old one, I mean might as well since you have the tranny down.

 

yea i changed the throw out bearing when i put in the clutch, my friend said it may need re adjusted, hopefully thats it and yes its hydrolic i stated i checked the fluid and its not low

 

and basicly what it does is ill have it in nuetral and try to pu it in gear and it wont go because the clutch wont disengage all the way so ill jam it in and itll start to move while i have the pedal all the way to the floor and when i start goin it will slip real bad as if the clutch isnt grabbing

 

I don't know much about hydrolic trannies, since I've only owned cables, but I they can be bled right? just like your brake lines?

 

anyone pleasE?

 

i have no idea whats goin on, i let the car sit for a day, got in it today and it runs and drives normal??? what is going on with it, something in the clutch and or transmision must have overheated??
