installed everything. started up fine.
this is what's happening.

when i press on the clutch pedal all the way down it wont wanna shift. but it will disengage when i depress it less than half way down but kinda engages when i press it down all the way.

other than that the clutch feels fine. any idea?

 

Sounds like something with the piece of metal that pivots the throwout bearing while the slave cylinder is moving. I'd loosen the slave cylinder, look around, and go from there if you need to pull the tranny.

 

man. i hate cars. ! now its leaking mad oil from driver side axle seal.. i think i put it in too far.

 

I agree, check to see if the slave cylinder is seated correctly.

 

Check clutch fork and slave cylinder. Did you bleed the slave properly after installing the clutch?

Can't put an axle in too far, but can tear the seal up if you are sloppy when putting the axle in the diff.

 

bleeded it few times. i'm pretty sure i did it right.
and shifter fork and the cylinder moves right and seated right too.
wth

 

so. is there any tips of "how to install the axle seal properly?"

 

Lightly coat the outside with oil press in with hands until outer edge is flush with case.

really.. just by using hand? no rubber mallet or anything?

 

If everything is installed properly it is something wrong with your clutch master or slave cylinder.
Also double check that the fork is seated onto the ball of the trans so it pivots horizontally back and forth correctly when the slave pushed it in and out

 

I always get them in by hand. I never use a mallet.

i never oil the outside, as if it's easy to go in, it'll come out easy, which is bad, mmmkay? so i leave the outside dry, put wheel bearing grease on the axle race (the part of the seal that the axle rides in), and press it in as far as i can with my fingers, then tap it in around the edges with a hammer.

after it's in place, pay attention to the end of the axle that is to be inserted into the tranny. theres a small C-clip in a groove in the very end. make sure the opening of this clip is straight down when inserting, so nothing catches the diff seal. you should be able to see what i'm talkin about when you look at it/think about it

just know it's common for people to screw up/rip the axle seal if they aren't paying attention.

good luck

 

got it fixed. pushed in with my finger. my thumb is killing for last few days haha
