I just put my tranny back in again and the clutch doesnt work. If I start it in gear with the clutch pushed in the car moves. If I start it in Neutral it will not go into gear. The clutch cable is new and I have tried adjusting it in both directions to no avail. The clutch is an Exedy Organic race clutch that is about 4-5 months old. The clutch pedal has plenty fo resistance and I did remember to put the TO bearing back on.

Could this be a bad PP? I have run out of ideas and it is starting to anger me.

Thanks for any help.

 

Damn Geoff that sucks, you and your tranny woes. Don't knwo what it could be but I hope you get the car running right.

 

Tell me about it. I'm sick of dealing with this crap. I just wanna drive my Rex.

 

i was just reading your post and started laughing at the tranny at a time and all your tranny woes sorry but that was just funny to me

 

Thats just my way of dealing with my tranny woes. I'm on tranny #5 and this problem starts.

 

Well I spent 2.5 hours playing with the clutch adjustment to no avail.

Clutch is in correctly.

I'm out of ideas.

 

Damn that really sucks, have you checked that clutch/tranny lever thing, lol

 

Yep...even tried a different lever in it to no avail. The TO bearing is traveling like it should. This has me stumped.

 

Symptoms of a bad PP? I have heard it burns! j/k
Any chance the disc was put in backwards?

 

The disc is in correctly. Thats what I thought it was the first time I put it back together and it didnt work. It will only go one way anyway.

 

My friend had the same exact syptoms as you. It seemed like his clutch was always engaged, even if the clutch pedal was stepped on.

His tranny was hydro, but the problem sound like it's the same with yours. We found that his clutch-master-cylinder was bad, and didn't give the TO bearing enough movement to disengauge the clutch plate.

Your cluth is definetly enganged. Seems like a minor problem....good luck

 

Yeah but Geoff has a cable tranny....

 

when you try to lift the lever with your hand is it tough to do? cuz let me tell you with my act clutch and pp i had no way of ever lifting that lever. how about proper clutch with proper offset and the to bearing is travelling the full distance it should.

 

have you tried to readjust the clutch cable since you put it back together?

 

The lever is impossible to lift with your hand aside from the little bit of play in it.

I have adjusted the clutch cable for 2.5 hours in both directions to no avail.

 

When you push the pedal in is it pulling the lever the whole way up... or close to it?

I haven't looked at one in a while, but I think there is an indentation on the trans that allows the lever to come up... you can judge how far up it is going based on that. If the lever is going up the whole way, then you know your problems are in the case. If it isn't then you have a bad cable or you have the adjustment thing on wrong.

 

It feels like its pulling the lever up. I havent actually checked but I cant pull it up by hand at all.

The cable is new and I have tried adjusting the clutch in either directoin to no avail
