2G Clutch problems

[Volcom339]

Hello,
I have a 98 GS-T, i have a problem after driving the car for a while when i come to a complete stop, my clutch is not enganging properly and wont let my go into any gears.

Everything is new, the slave, the master, the clutch, flywheel, trans is rebuilt. No leaks on the line. Fluid is new. It drives perfectly fine its just after a while when i stop completely is when the problem occurs.

Im thinking it might be the clutch fork? Since i didnt replace that but i dont know. Has anyone had this problem?

Did you check flywheel step height on install?

The following statements are my opinions but they are based on 26 years of wrenching on mitsubishis and 21 of those years on DSMs. This applies to 4g63 cars only. I am not commenting on a 420a clutch although some things do apply.This is not meant to be just DSM specific but could be applied...

Step height is a good place to start, I also had a friend who had this exact problem with a Clutch Masters twin disc clutch. In his case one of the discs wasn't within spec despite being new and after having it swapped for another clutch it was working.

I had a similar problem once when I had a clutch spring pop out on my old Act 2100, it would be PERFECT after bleeding the clutch and then would get stuck in 1st gear and couldn't shift anymore.

My point is, I would drop the trans and check the tolerances of everything and do a quick visual inspection.

The clutch is not engaging (connecting the engine to the transmission) or is not dis-engaging (uncoupling the engine from the transmission)?

I'm sure we all assume your talking about it not dis-engaging but want to be clear.

Update, i figured out my problem, turns out my clutch pedal assembly is worn out. My pedal is far out to the left and no longer engages properly. Does anyone one know where i can find replacement parts or repair kits?

You can check with some of the guys that do part outs. RIxRacing (@dacowgod on here) does a lot and his web page says if you don't see it, ask for it.

2gs don't really have the pedal assembly problems as they are designed differently than 1g. What do you mean your pedal is far out to the left???

I'll send a pic when i return from work tonight, i think a picture would be better

You're going to have to climb up in there and find out what's happening the welding that takes place on a 1g has nothing to do with your problem. You may have something broken but we can't tell.

Got in there and yep the pedal is broken, theres a crack right where the pedal stopper is. Going to need a new pedal for sure
