I destroyed my clutch and got a new one had the flywheel resurfaced, new disc and pressure plate. and everything. wouldnt go into to gear when car was started put in a new master and slave cylinder and new shift linkage and still no luck. I bleed the clutch and has a ton of pressure but then when you start the car it loses some of the pressure any ideas guys.

Maybe there's a leak in the clutch line?

Possibly a leak, also are you sure you put everything back together correctly, such as the pilot bearing?

Lmgrcivic

if the pilot bearing wasnt in right wouldnt the tranny not go on right

MakinAComeBack

oh your right sorry i meant throw out bearing

Lmgrcivic

yeah the throw out bearing is good and in place right

Lmgrcivic

anybody have any ideas

Synchros perhaps?

Syndacate

if it's the syncro mesh, he could put it in w/o the clutch after revving it to a certain RPM level, redline it, then push the shifter up into 1st as the tach falls back from the redline, eventually, it should slide in, even w/o the syncros, u'll probably spin the tires, but what the hell.....Also, does it go in when the car is off?

zoolander

does the pressure go back up when you turn the car off and then back on...if so, probly not a leak. more so the synchro

Lmgrcivic

no the pressure doesnt go back up and also Ive tried 2 different tranny's and I know the one is good for sure so it cant be the syncro's. could something else be lined up wrong or something is there anything else that could be that might not be engageing the whole way

Syndacate

get two people to check that linkage, one shifting it, one underneath making sur eit's all working, that's the only thing left that I can think of, if you swapped the trannys with 2 different trannys, I mean, it has to be somewhere in the linkage

zoolander

i'm thinkng it might be a leak in the line or slave cylinder, and no pressure to engage. If the lines were okay, then the pressure wouldn't build back up.

Lmgrcivic

ok so Im pretty sure that there is some kind of air still in the line. has anyone ever used a bleeder on the clutch before and if so what kind

gunnis

I would think, in bleeding the clutch you would be able to tell if it was building pressure and holding it. If not, yes perhaps a leak is present.

double check your axles. Ive heard of some weird, not going into gear when an axle popped out after an attempt, at changing them, probably not the case.
Good luck.
