First a short story, and then you tell me.
I got into my car to go to work. my cv axles just start clicking maybe a month ago meaning that its wasnt loud at all, i knew i had a little bit of time before i had to swap them. I back up, start to pull forward and BAM, my right cv axle locked up on spot. It stopped my whole car dead in its tracks. I parked it, ordered my axles, swapped them, started driving and i still had issue. After troubleshooting i found my diff had some craked teeth. My tranny is old and sloshy so i ordered another along with another clutch just to eliminate my messy gears and broken diff, and ill have a brand new clutch. i install my clutch and swap my slave cylinder with a OE one. I have had zero luck bleeding it, so i started checking other things. My master cylinder had rubber peices missing so i got a new one of those. My clutch line is metal piping all the way to my slave cylinder as well.
Now, after trying almost all ways of bleeding my clutch(2 person pump and bleed, hand pump bleeding it both ways), my clutch still will not bleed. Everything outside of the transmission is brand new, which if im not mistaken leaves maybe the pressure plate. i have terrific travel with my slave cylinder and even tried different length shafts after the fact. Basically i cannot get my car into gear when its running. If you look at it as a whole, everything(!) is brand new except the transmission which has 91k miles on it.
I know the saying if it can break it will, but i am really stumped on this. my cluch is a Fidanza 2.1 street disk and its on a 1996 gst. Is it safe to say that maybe my pressure plate is screwed up? I think i have covered almost every other base and i feel it has to be something inside the transmission. my clutch fork looks to be in good condition as well(no craks or shims). Need some help, ty in advance.
