Help...clutch problems
I searched and I am not finding what I need...heres my problems...
I got a Zoom aluminum flywheel and just put in the stock replacement clutch and pressure plate (SPX brand).
I replaced the hydraulics on it and swapped in my old master cylinder into the new lines and attempted to bleed it. It wouldnt disengage the clutch. So I thought maybe that master cylndr was bad...so I put on the new one and tried bleeding it...still wouldnt disengage. so I then made sure the clutch fork was on the throwout bearing...it was.
So I tried bleeding the hydraulics again!! (About 5-6 times total) and I still dont get any pedal pressure.
The clutch is installed RIGHT!! It IS aligned and the tranny shaft spins freely so I know its not binding. The Car starts up fine, but it wont go into gear. It moves forward when you push on it just like the syncros should do...
Im at a loss...its been two full days working on it when it should only take a few hours. I got a gashed open head and bloody knuckles...I need help
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!

Re: Help...clutch problems
well no one helped me on this...Thanks by the way for all your inputs (Sarcasm)
Found out my firewall was flexing outwards and limiting the travel of the master cylinder...
So if any of you have the same symptoms...check the firewall to see if it is flexing...
