So I started the GSR motor yesterday to see if the swap that took all weekend was going to be worth it. Well when I released the clutch (in neutral) the car stalled. Hmmm...then I tried shifting it into gear - NOPE! I got it into 4th gear eventually, and now it won't come out of it.

Is there anyway to fix this problem?

 

kinda sounds like the clutch isn't disengaging when you press the pedal in....did you bleed the clutch?

 

i didn't think about bleeding the clutch, because the Helm's manual didn't say anything about it. But i'll try that too, thanks!

Anyone else?

 

well after you bleed the clutch, and it still hasnt fixed anything. You'll eventually have to pull the tranny.

I highly doubt your tranny just "gave out." Most likely your clutch disc binded to your pressure plate and isn't releasing.

Like did pedal pressure increase and become almost impossible to push down? Or did you loose hydraulic pressure and the pedal fall to the floor?

 

alright i bled the clutch, and nothing...but i was able to get it out of 4th and into neutral.

 

Well I'm used to an ACT HDSS clutch on my LS...this clutch I believe is stock. The pedal pressure is very soft. The pedal does go to floor but will return like normal

 

just an update...it was the transmission that locked up. i bought a replacement back in march and put it in. now the car is running juuuuuuuuuuust fine.
