already searched and couldnt find the solution to my exact problem...i was at a stop light and tried to move but my car wouldnt go into any gear...i turned it off and it went through every gear just fine so i tried to start it in 1st and when i did it made a really nasty grinding noise...i just got a clutch and flywheel installed about 2500 miles ago and replaced the throw out bearing too...there was no leaking anywhere either...could anyone help me out??? thanks in advance im really frustrated right now

 

if your car is using a hydro clutch...bleed out the system like how you do on brakes.....

 

yea i was going to try that when i got home

 

dont forget to refill fluids when bleeding... GL

 

dont i just have someone pumping the pedal and add fluid while its draining out??? how do i know if all the air is out of the system??

 

fill the res. open the nut and let it gravity bleed for a bit..close off nut..

1.pump clutch 2/3 times and hold the last time all the way down.. 2.open nut and let air out.. 3.close off nut.. 4.release clutch 5.repeat steps 1-4 until clutch has desired pressure

[MAKE SURE THE RES HAS FLUID IN IT AT ALL TIMES]

the same thing happened to me one night when i was drunk coming back from a party [not a smart thing to do ].. i knew what the problem was but i couldnt do anything about it.. i was alone and didnt have anyone to help me bleed my shyt at 3am so i just drove home in second..

 

do i just leave the cap off of the res. the whole time and constantly add??

 

I just replace my clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, ect. because i had the same problem. It fixed it.

 

i forgot that was because the springs on the clutch were coming out of the clutch.

You do not have to hold the clutch pedal in when bleeding like you do on brakes. You can easily bleed the clutch yourself by putting a clear tube into some brake fluid over the bleed screw on the slave cylinder, open the bleed screw, then pump the pedal several times. When the bleeder screw is open, I can easily pump the pedal with my hand, so I don't have to sit in the car and pump with my foot. For me, pumping about 10 times uses most of the fluid in the reservoir, so I just pump 10 times, add fluid, pump 10 times, see if there's any more air bubbles in the tube, and keep repeating until no more air is present in the clear tube.

This is also how to flush the clutch fluid, which should also be done periodically (like once a year).

that works also.. i do it the old fashon way.. PUMPING FTMFW!!

 

old fashioned way? I still pump the pedal, and the process I described is exactly how the Helm's manual states to bleed the clutch line.

 

well i guess ill try again because apparently it didnt work that way yesterday lol...if it isnt the bleeding than damn i dont really want to take my tranny off again

 

Everyone always claims that they've recently replaced the clutch, YET still have this problem in particular. I'm pretty sure it's your clutch.

 

could be your throw out bearing or your pressure plate. a friend of mine was doing the same as yours, so when we took the tranny off, we saw that two of the teeths or watever they're called broked. we replaced the clutch and pressure plate and everything was running okay after that.

 

before it did this for about 5 min. while i was driving it made this grinding noise when i pushed the clutched and released it(everytime i switched gears)

 

this happened to me also but ended up being blown clutch!
