Ok, sorry for another Clutch thread. I always use search, just can't find one relating to me. Ok i did a 5speed swap receantly( finished near the end of july) the transmission is from a 90TSi AWD. i have the 90 shifter, 90 cables, a new pedal assembly from john shepherd, a new firandza flywheel, act 2600 with a street disk, new act throwout bearing, new oem clutch fork, new oem piviot ball, new oem slave and master cylinder, new release boot, new TO bearing clip, new goodridge ss line (from master to slave). Well if i start the car, i can't get it into gear, even with the clutch to the floor, unless the car is rolling forward(like if it was on a hill) then i can. But most of the time i have to start the car in gear with the clutch all the way down. when i do that (the clutch is still to the floor) the car wants to roll foward(in 1st gear) or back( if i'm in reverse). ive bleed it several times with my friend pumping it, holding about halfway, me open and close it, him pull the petal up and repeat. but this didn't help. i maxed out the adjustment on the master clyinder and i was able to get it into gear once then it did it again. while driving, the engine needs to be at right speed to go in gear. like if the rpms drop pass the "rev match" then i won't go it to gear. clutch currently has 5xx miles on it. my guess was possible leak in line but not sure. Any thing will help. Thanks for your time.
 
Ok, well i bleed the line like the post suggested. Now i can get it into gear with some force and the occional grind. with the pedal to the floor. I'm ran out of time so didn't get to mess with the adjustment. I need a new clevis pin cause I just have a bolt in it right now. I'm gonna get the pine mess with the adjustment and post my results
