Engagment, Disengagement, and shifting problems!!!

ALLBoostAWD · 06-03-2007, 05:27 PM

I installed an ACT 2600 and XACT flywheel. The STEP height was correct when I installed it. I drove the car for the first 500 miles lightly breaking in the clutch, no problems. I noticed that my slave cylinder was leaking and a started having problems getting the car into gear (TB OEM). I replaced the slave sylinder with a new OEM one from SB and tried the extended slave rod in it, still didnt fix the problem so i put the OEM rod back in, bleed the clutch, and installed a SS clutch line. Now if I drive the car it does not want to go into gear and is very notchy, it grinds and I have lost some pedal pressure even after bleeding it forever. I am almost to the point where i am just going to start replacing things; pivot ball, fork, master cylinder

. Any suggestions?? Thanks

Loss of pedal pressure usually points to air in the system.

You may also want to try adjusting the clutch pedal rod up under the dash. Refer here for a step by step - http://www.vfaq.com/mods/wayback/clutch_adj.html

Yeah, definitly adjust the clutch. The same thing happened to me and that's all it was.

Also could be your pedal assembly. Is there any freeplay in it?

Check the pedal assembly (really easy. Just pull up and see if there is any free play) Then check your master cylinder. Also adding a washer behind the pivot ball always helps.

Also it is highly unlikely that you would need a new fork unless it broke.

Ill try re-bleeding the system and adjusting the clutch out some. Ill let you all know what happens, I dont think the assembly is bad, me and a freind checked it out right before the installation of the clutch. Thanks for the help.
