Default Clutch not engaging..

When i start the car up i can't put the car in any gears while holding on the clutch. There is good pressure on the clutch pedal but it won't go into gears. While the car is off the gears go in perfectly. Any suggestions?

Same thing happen to me. In my case flywheel bolts backed out and clutch disk was not making contact with flywheel.

Did you just replace your clutch or something?

I would suggest checking your clutch fork and bleed your slave cylinder

Sounds like a slave cylinder problem - they can be very temperamental and do screwy things with the clutch engagement and pedal feel. A new one ranges between $80 and $100 from the dealer, but I would try bleeding it first.

i tried bleeding it already twice. It seems like it isn't pushing the fork all the way.

did you resurface the flywheel before you installed the clutch? if not then your clutch disc could have gotten contaminated and fried itself
