ok ive got shifting problems still ......I had a new master and slave put in a couple of months back.......when i got the car back i couldn't get into hardly any gear.....i went and bled the entire system and most of the problems go away but i still have problems getting into 3rd gear (sometimes others but mostly 3rd) under normal driving conditions. If i am driving the car hard and shift at above 5k i have no trouble getting into gear. The question is, could a bad clutch/clutchfork/TOB fix this? I have an ACT 2100 kit sitting on the floor and im goin to be putting it in shortly. I just wanted to know if there was something else i should be checking during the install to fix this. Thanks for the help guys, any suggestions would be awesome.


PS: when i say it wont go in it doesnt grind or anything at all....its like hitting a wall when i shift. Like the gate doesnt open at all...if i force it it doesnt even try and go into gear..i hope u guys know what im saying :) if not ill try and clear it up more let me know...
 
Where does your clutch pedal start engaging? Have you tried adjusting the pushrod that goes into the master cylinder? If you adjust the clutch pedal to engage higher, the clutch will disengage more when you step on the pedal. Is this problem only w/ 3rd gear?
 
The problem isnt only 3rd gear but it seems as though its mainly 3rd......sometimes when it wont go into 3rd it wont go into any gear and then i have to keep reclutching till it finally works again....i never had any shifting problems at all until i had my master and slave cyl replaced :mad: only reason i changed them is because it started leaking inside the car. No i havent tried to adjust the clutch ....i guess i should try that.......thanks for the reply :) ill try that 2night.
