hey guys i am new to this forum and i have a 98 hatch with the d16z6 in it and recently i have had some problems getting it in gear. i replaced the slave cylinder and was going to replace the master cylinder but got the wrong part. but it worked good after that for about a week. it sometimes will shift fine but then others i have to force it in gear like its not disengageing all the way. to add to this i have a act pressure plate, excedy stage 1 disc and fidanza flywheel. thanks for the help

i had some issues after changing my clutch...gears would not work. After searching, heres what i have found

1-Leak in the hydro system
2-Bad slave/master cylinder
3-Bad throw out bearing
4-Bad pressure plate
5-Issues with pilot bearing (the one that goes on the flywheel, where the input shaft is)
6-Shifter stabilizer is too tight
7-AIR IN THE SYSTEM (sounds silly, but i didn't drive my car for 3 weeks before finding that was it)

 

i have had the cluch in for about 6 months. i was really leaning towrds the master cylinder cause it doesnt happen all the time but it is getting worse so i dont drive it. my cluch pedel feels good but i have had some people say it could be my cluch and after diagnosing on it some it seems that is what it may be. if thats the case im probly just going to go back to stock cluch and flywheel.

 

9/10 its air in the line

 

If your master cyl was bad it would be leaking out the back.

 

i bled the cluch and its still having the same probly check the fluid level and its good.

 

No offenese, but do now how to properly bleed a clutch? Its easy to leave air in the lines.

 

yes i do i accualy do this for a living i was just trying to get your guys opinon befor i changed my cluch. i know its not air my cluch pedel fells fine and i have bled it a couple of times. i can turn off the car put it in gear and start it and it will slowly creep forword so i know the cluch is not disengaging.

throw out bearing or shift fork taking a dump on you maybe?

 

i was kind of also thinking the throw out bering because it is making a little bit of noise.
