Bled slave cylinder clutch issues

Holy mother of God!!! Use some punctuation and full sentences please. And lets try what you said again.
 
Dont worry I have a G.E.D. I will help you!
Your flywheel may be warped, your slave cylinder may be bad, your pivot ball may be bad, your fork may be bad, or your clutch is not seated even.

Skipping school pays!
 
LOL on the last couple posts. I got hit with two infractions already. I sucked at English in college but loved math... I just make it a point to proof read everything before I post. Lord forbid we are working on cars and not studying English. So what your saying is basically the car moves when the clutch pedal is in all the way?

snowborder714 has basically forced me to take online grammar courses, after a ton of infractions I guess I either got better or I have got better at staying under the radar :cool:
 
Sorry about that I deffinitly did not re-read any of that. I can talk correctly just had my hands covered in brake fluid and my iPhone changed some things. Well anyways I bled my hydraulic system and I ended up having more presure then ever on my pedal, I then re-adjusted the mastercylinder under the dash and ended up with my tranny still not going into gear very well and the wheels spinning with the clutch peddle applied. I have an act 2600 clutch and pressure plate and fidenza lightweight flywheel with barely any miles on, this Is a daily driven barely ran hard car. I did this because while I was driving this week all the sudden I lost all the pressure to my pedal and could not get the car in gears without pumping the pedal, also the clutch never slips, it grabs very hard.

Not sure about 2g's but isnt the master adjustment on the outside of the firewall? Watch the video from Jacks transmissions. Sounds like you have the adjustment all the way closed and not letting the slave get the proper throw.
 
I'll watch it again, but I adjusted it on
The inside untill the slave could not be pushed in by hand, then I backed it off untill I could push it in freely

What do you mean by backing it off, I adjusted it in

It sounds like you adjusted it correctly, but this ^^^ part makes me think the clutch broke somewhere inside the bellhousing.
 
in my experiences with different vehicles the symptoms described make me think fork bent. I see it in t56 cars all the time when I do a clutch for someone I always try to get them to buy a stronger fork if I see a racing clutch going in it. just my opinion
 
I considered the fact that it could be a spring that popped, 3 weeks ago I was almost sure something like that had happened, I had the same issues as I do now so I readjusted the system and was on my way. But then just this week I was very gently driving to work when I went to clutch to take it out of gear for a stop I had no pedal pressure. But it only took about 2-3 pumps and it would go right through any gear, I drove it a good distance home like that just fine. So now I replaced the hydraulics thinking thats what it had to be and now I am having issues getting it to fully disengage. But ricky thank you for the video I will try to readjust it accordingly again tomorrow, I think my rod may be turned on too far hopefully that is the problem.
 
Another thing that may be worth mentioning, with aftermarket (stronger) pressure plates, it is often necessary to get a slightly longer slave cylinder rod (the one to the clutch fork) in order for the the clutch to fully disengage. I had to when I put mine in.

No, extended rods are just a band aid for an improperly setup clutch.

OP, check all the bell housing to block bolts to make sure they are all their/tight.
Also, where does your clutch fork sit when the clutch is engaged? Is it centered in the housing? left of center? right of center?
How did you bleed the clutch?
 
Now I had my car yesterday going into return gear and working fine drove it around the block just the clutch dragged at 4000 rpms fully adjusted. Then today I could not get it to go into any gear when running. Looked into the shift fork boot and found a little clip dangling from a little spring, I looked in my Manuel and if it's the same thing it's called a return clip. Could this cause my issues. Also my frk is moving fully.

dang that sucks. you need to get your trans out and reinsert that clip onto the fork and throw out bearing. but you did mention a spring, which the only thing close to a spring in your clutch area is your clutch springs. but Im sure you have some names confused as I doubt its those springs.
 
kinda had similar issue just a couple weeks ago. clutch wouldnt disengage and car would just move forward when i tried starting it in gear. I couldnt get it into gear with the car on. had to start it in gear to get it home. turns out the spring on the clutch disc broke off. but not shure if thats your issue.
