(1)So, I just installed my new ACT clutch, and was driving it around for about 15 minutes, then suddenly I cannot put it into any gear at all unless I shut off the car, put it in with force, and then start it and ride that gear all the way home. Checked the master cylinder fluid level, that was good, already bled the lines twice before driving, (might need it again?).
Thinking possibly a master cylinder/slave cylinder problem, but not exactly sure.

Help would be greatly appreciated, I would like to take her to a show this weekend.

(2update)I drove it today, it started out fine, no problems, drove for about 10 minutes, parked it, and drove for another 5. After that I let it sit running while i went to my girls door, and when i came back it wouldnt go into any gears. It happened that way last night too, didn't act up until i left it idling to show my friend.
any ideas?

 

You even have to force it into gear when the car is turned off??

 

not close to as hard, but still not as smooth as it should be

 

sounds like a symptom of a pressure plate. i take it you replaced that with your new clutch?

 

try giving the clutch pedal a bit more throw by making the adjustment rod on the master cylinder a few turns longer. you can find this under the dash, its the rod that connects to the pedal up top, and has a 12mm jam nut.

 

yes i replaced the pressure plate, and i adjusted that rod too, i turned it close to all the way out

 

i would loook at the slave and mster cylinders, and see if its leaking at all.

And also, check how far the throw is when the car is cold at the slave cylinder by having someone push the clutch pedal, and then go check it again, when it gets warmed up and locks you out of gear, if its shorter than u know is somethign with the hydro system

 

yeah its the pressure plate. this happened to me, we had to drop the tranny again. just make sure the pressure plate is bolted up right. make sure it is tightened properly i believe 22 or 28tf lbs.

 

Before doing anything too drastic (like dropping the box again) Place something behind the clutch fork to jam it off while bleeding. You'll be surprise to see the amount of air that comes out now. You will also notice some good clutch pressure after bleeding it. Gears should select fine now. I had the same problem with mine and that solved it.

 

hydrouliq systems are ghey.

 

yeah sorry i forgot to mention that....it is crucial you you bleed the slave cylinder very thoroughly, before you decide to drop the tranny again. good call.
