Am I Screwed???? Please Help!!!

[krazywhitboy]

ok here's the deal. the car is a 1990 talon tsi awd. i have no 4th gear at all. there isn't any grinding, it's like there isn't even a gear there when i try to put it in. i can get it into 1,2,3,5,R fine, but the clutch engages right at the floor. i replaced the slave cylinder, clutch, t/o bearing, pressure plate and replaced trans fluid and transfer case fluid and bled the system for half an hour. i tried adjusting the clutch (its hanging on by about 3 threads) and that didn't help. i'm stumped, is it my transmission? someone told me that i could make a longer slave cylinder rod, but i heard that's a temp fix and it puts too much pressure on your pressure plate.....any ideas?????

There's a helpful response!

I couldn't diagnose your 4th gear problem via email but you can check a couple things about your clutch engagement problems. They've all been handled before. Check out Taboo Speed Shops Installation and tech page http://www.taboospeedshop.com/installationtips.htm Scroll down to the clutch section and read all the different pages. It'll at least give you some tips to try.

Get the extended slave rod then readjust the master cyliner way down, works great for me!
