Car moves when selecting gears

[disciplekyst]

Hy guys,

Here's the problem: My car moves slightly when I select a gear (especially first...)
I suppose the clutch isn't completely disengaging, than it makes my synchros work to move the car

Can someone tell me if it's the problem and how to resolve it (bleed the clutch?)

Thanks

Try adjusting your clutch pedal:

What kind of clutch do you have, and how old is it?

I know mine used to do that and come to find out my slave cyclinder was bad. A seal was leaking so it wasnt engaging/disengaging fully.

check your adjustment and the if no luck try your slave cylinder...n if that doesnt work check the clutch itsself..youll have to pull the trans of course......my buddy was having the same problem and i took his trans down and i dont know the correct name of the part but on the clutch itself there are these springs and one of his was broke not allowing it to disengage all the way.....good luck

Hope it's not that bad . But i'll try the adjustment whenever it gets hotter than -10 celcius out there. Believe or not my local mechanic once told me that it's not possible to adjust an hydrolic clutch... Well screw him.

Thanks guys

Your mechanic was right. Hydraulic clutches are self-adjusting. What you can adjust is the pedal pushrod, and where in the master cylinder it lets the piston rest when not releasing the clutch. This will affect where the pedal pushes the throwout bearing and begin to release the clutch- provided there's enough friction disc thickness to allow for pedal adjustment.
