clutch problem

[LTUDSM]

hey guys,my brother having problems with his clutch.he was driving round till he couldnt get into any gear.When the Car is Off you could get into any gears very easy,but as soon as he starts the car-can't get into any gear.his tranny is freshly rebuilt,clutch in a good condition (2100 ACT clutch kit with OEM TOB.He got 1990 FWD Talon.We tried to bleed the clutch but it didn't helped at all.we did like 6 times.... weird what should ill try next??

P.S. sorry if this question was answered before,but i did try searching and it came up with different situations...

dang this thing just built? Try checking the fluids, then the lines that carry the fluids, if it was just rebuilt I would have it back to that guy and have him rebuild it again. Maybe he will see what happened. That doesn't sound like a freshly rebuilt clutch

no clutch is like 2 years old i guess, and he rebuilted tranny not that long ago,but he didnt drove the car ### of some reason.it had min fluid in clutch master cylinder ,so we fill that up,but didn't helped whatsoever

Well you sayd the clutch is about 2year old that could be your problem it sounds like an engaging problem to me ..
i had the same problem when my clutch went out,

its eather springs on the clutch plate or you have air in the line try bleading in differnt places...a buddy of mine had this happen to his jetta the bleader on the slave clynder was cracked and you couldn't see it and it was taking air in every time he hit the clutch

 

[LTUDSM]

could it be bad master cylinder? but why it does that i mean the car wont go into any gear when its on? if the car is shut off the gears are going great

 

[97 4G63]

Well like i sayd i had the same problem my car would go into gear when it was off but once the car was running the clutch would not engage ..
take a look under the dash where the clutch goes into the fire wall to see if theres any fluid leaking into the car if so you cylinder is bad,

ill check that out tomo and what if ill try to adjust the master cylinder rod? for a pedal engagement? should ill try that or it wont help?

I'm sure the master cylinder rod as nothing to do whit it if it was working fine before

 

[LTUDSM]

i got no leaks under the dash,so that means that my master cylinder is in good condition,ill prob gonna take tranny out to see whats going on in there,but i never did that before,so im kinda afraid to do it myself

There's not much to removing your tranny is a really straigh forwar prosses it's just time comsuming,

Have you gotten under the car while some moves the clutch up and down to see if the slave cylinder is even moving? Try jiggling the clutch fork as well while you're down there to see if maybe it's broken. The fact that you can only get gears with the car off suggests that the clutch isn't disengaging. Has the car been stored for a while, or did it get wet then sit for a few days? The clutch can sometimes rust itself to the flywheel if it's sits when it's wet.

A good way to know if master cylinder is good ,when ## bleeding the system it must release the liquid with decent pressure.

it wasn't sitting,the Turbotrix guys installed AFC Neo to his car and did dyno.after that he took the car,drove like 10 min and bang something happened to the clutch.

So is the slave cylinder and clutch fork moving appropriately or not?

Wow ...
yeah that's not good but the good thing is that you found that out in time ..

 

[90gsx16g]

I agree, i recently found out that loose bolts= Detroyed tranny guy befor me didnt bolt them back tight.

 

[rhino4]

Same thing happened to my dads car. it would go into gear but it was real rough and it had a new tranny. tighted up the bolt and it was good as new. glad u solved ## problem

 

[LTUDSM]

well first,i didn't expect that,because the guys from turbotrix called my brother and told him,that he got a lot of bolts that were unscrewed,so they said that they gonna tight all of those loosen bolts.but prob they missed the tranny,which i think its the first thing to ckeck,plus they changed the starter,and those two starter bolts were loose too... im unhappy about theyre service.

Wish i woulda known it was the tranny bolts.. it woulda saved me a good chunk of money. Oh well

ok .I dont want to make a same thread,so ill post up here

im having problems with clutch myself.my brother had one,we solved it,but right now im in there,but in different situation.
i was having problems with my clutch setup and engagement.So i fin ot that my clutch pedal assy was bad.I bought a new one from mitsu dealer,put it in,bought a new Fidanza clutch kit.new fork,new pivot ball,new slave cylinder,new ss clutch line.My master cylinder is almost new.Put everything in the place where they should be.Now im having engagement problems again.bleed the clutch like 30 times as the (Talon, Laser, Eclipse 1G Info DSM) says.didnt help.so where is the problem?? could my flywheel be bad??? because 3 months ago,when the guys installed my sec ACT 2100 clutch kit,they shaved 8lbs off of my flywheel,so i think it couldnt get bad that fast.I spent a lot of my $$$ just trying to fix that damn clutch problem,and i dont want to buy a new flywheel if its not a flywheel problem. Need Some help really bad,i ate 4 clutch kits in 4 months i dont know whats going on.... WTF

Wait how can you shave 8 lbs off a a flywheel? Secondly what is your problem that you are having? You just described what you did, not your actual problem. oh an try and clean up your spelling kinda hard to understand what your sayin.

 

[LTUDSM]

the problem is that i have a really bad pedal engagement,my extended push rod is all the way out,i got probably one thread left in the bracket, or whatever it calls.Plus my tranny bolts are keeping unscrewing.i tried "Thread-lock",but it didnt helped me out..
