whats up guys.....well i need some help here. i recently replaced my clutch with a sbr 3500 torqued everything down, got the tranny bolted back up, torqued the tranny bolts down, and now i'm having a little situation. when the car is off i can easily shift in and out of every gear....once the car is on i can go into the bottome 3 gears (2,4,R) by using alot of force and i can't go into the top 3 gears (1,3,5) at all...i got done last night a little late so i really haven't checked/tried anything except for the adjustment....i tried adjusting the pedal all the way and i still get the same result....i will be in my garage working on the car and i'll be logged on in the afternoon time, so do you guys have any ideas as to what i can check or try??? i did some research on the problem but haven't really found any good answers....i will be checking the rod, fork to make sure its hitting the pp, i'll also be checking the to see if i can change gears on the tranny by hand.....the clutch was bled a good 10-15 times so there should be no air in the system....anybody have any adivice??? thanks
 
it shhould be....i asked specificly for a .610 step....i'm hoping that they did it right so i wont have to pull the tranny back off.....i'm checking things as we speak....anyone have advice or things i should try???
 
well its back on the road.....somewhat.....i dont have the slightest idea as to what i did differently....but i checked the linkage and slave rod...lifted the car to see if it would disengage.....it checkd out fine...put the car down and noticed that the car would now go into every gear smoothly....just came back from a test drive and it goes into all 5 gears and reverse perfectly fine.....so i guess its fixed.....the only wierd thing i noticed is that there is a strong smell of clutch in the air...sort of like when your clutch is burnt...dont know what that can be.....any ideas??
 
well just drove the car for about 10 miles or so....no problems thankfully....everything seems to be going smooth.....SBR 3500 = very good clutch.....so fat i'm very happy with it....thanks for the help guys
