Goes into gear but the car wont move. 5speed

[dsmsucks]

Well guys I have just replaced my clutch. Everything was replace, EVERYTHING. Im using the fidanza 2.1 clutch. Well I am able to get into all of the gears but When I go to let my foot off of the clutch the car doesnt move Any ideas what the problem could be? Im going to try and bleed the system more. Also is there a such thing as the master rod being OVER backed out. I have it on the last thread!
thanks

It is possible to over-adjust the master rod, but normally that would cause your clutch to slip. I wouldnt think you could adjust it so far to actually disengage the clutch. Try turning it away from the firewall a couple times and see if that helps. If that doesnt help my next suggestion would be to check your tranny.By the way the last thread seems kinda far out.

Broken axle?

either bad clutch fork, or an over adjustment it is possible to adjust it so far out that it will not engage, of like i said a bad clutch fork, or throw out bearing.

Well, here's a short list. Broken axle or axle not indexed into the trans all the way. Clutch not engaging the pressure plate and flywheel. You can put it in gear and have someone observe the inner axle joints. If they are turning it's likely the axle. If not, I would speculate the trans is coming out again. The clutch is hydraulic and should compensate for small errors. However, if you really fubard the clutch it won't take up the slack. Fubar is a word. Fouled up beyond all recognition. Or something like that ;o).

You have something holding the clutch in depressed mode. Look and see what the arm looks like. It should be near the slave cylinder at rest. If it's shoved back away, then something inside has went awry. Check it out to be safe and sure.

Good LUck

Thanks for the advice guys. Everything has been replaced
fork
ball(shimmed twice)
slave
master
When I put the car in gear I hear a whine noise. I was wonder if there was a difference between the nt master cylinder and turbo one. Im so tried of messing with the car its not funny. I keep spending money on all these parts. If I cant get it fixed by friday, Im parting it out and giving the shell to the junk yard

 

[dsmsucks]

Also in order to get into any of the gears. I have to have the master rod on the last thread????

 

[skeeter4200]

remember just cause a part is new doesn't mean its not bad , it could have been made on a friday or something , sounds like a bad throw out bearing to me

 

[meliketoball]

The whining you hear is the TOB. It's like that with all new TOBs, well it was for me. It has to have time to be broken in or set in the diaphragm forks.

Anyway, I would adjust the master cylinder push rod to clutch pedal in towards the firewall (crack open the lock nut on the master cylinder push rod then use your fingers or if its hard, a pair of locking pliers to thread IN.)

Get it to where you have a reasonable amount of freeplay on the clutch, say 1-3 inches of freeplay or so.

If that didn't work, I'd bleed the hydraulic system and if that doesn't work, I'd say it's probably a defective pressure plate.

bad input shaft.

 

[dsmsucks]

One more thing, i started the car up in gear to see if it would jump(stall). Nothing happened??

input shaft?? What does that do and where is it

 

[Old Mitsu Tech]

The input shaft is a good one. It is the shaft that the clutch rides on. See if you have fourth gear. If you do, the input shaft gear is stripped. That's a quick easy check. Fourth gear is direct and does not use the counter gears. Thus if the counter gear or input is stripped, you can still use fourth.

However, I would have to "assume" that it worked before you installed the clutch? Usually when the input goes out, you were driving it and it just quit. Anyway, check it out.

Good Luck

Broken axle?

I had the same problem.
The axle popped off the tranny. Check that out first.

 

[Afroclipse]

now wouldn't it be funny if the shifter cables weren't hooked up to the tranny. Just like everybody sai jack it up and recheck everything and while your doing that remove the damn thing and start from scratch. put it in first and push that sucker if it moves oh well. Bottom line remove it and start over no use wasting anymore time.

 

[dsmsucks]

Yes the tranny work good before the install. Theres only one wheel that spins right? Is it the right or left. I have a nt cv shaft on the right(passenger side)
could this be the problem?

 

[dsmsucks]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES I DO have the wrong cv shaft. I went under the passenger side and shock the cv shaft. And it was very lose. Wasnt even contacting the tranny

 

[meliketoball]

Ummm, if the axle isn't in the tranny, wouldn't gear oil leak everywhere?!?!

 

[blownturbotsi]

I don't think it'd build enough pressure to leak out, but then again I'm not tranny smart.

 

[eclips3_xs]

i have the same problem. My car wont move but i have a lsd in the tranny.
