Clutch Trouble

[and11200]

I recently had a new tranny put in (the exact same as stock) but now I seem to be having some troubles with my car. When the car is off, the clutch pedal acts exactly how it should. It shifts into first, second, third, (fourth seems kinda iffy). When the car is on, however, the car whines while trying to shift into first (Metals rubbing?) and the car won't move. The clutch pdeal will also stick about half way off the ground. It goes down fine, and comes back up, but only part way. I was told by a couple local dsm'ers that it could be crankwalk. Its a possibility, but I know its over-rated. They also suggested replacing the master and slave cylinders. I know to check for leaks, but what else should I do as far as making sure that they're well intact? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know about it being an overrated problem with our cars, alot of ppl have had problems with crankwalk. But to answer your question...you may have air in your line. try bleeding your system if you see no sign of leaking from either the slave or master cylinders. Let me know if this works. I hope its not crankwalk. one way to check it is when your turning left release the clutch pedal and if it stays down, you probably have it. As far as the installation of your transmission, may want to take it to the shop and have them check it out for you if your not mechanically inclinde
