no cluch after 1000 miles

Ok so I did do some searching, and couldnt find much. Well it started about a month ago. I was driving on the freeway in fifth gear, and I went to pass a car never downshifted or anything and my clutch went out. Pulled the tranny all I heard was change hit the ground. So i bought the xtd stage four clutch and act flywheel. Put it all back together. It worked great i loved it. I broke it in properly. I never really got on the car at all since I needed it as a dd till i finish the head gasket on my other car. So it was all hwy driving to work. and than I was on my way to work yesterday, went to pass a car in fifth gear again. and all it did is rev. I tried all gears and nothing. all tranny bolts are tight with locktite everything is new. wtf is going on here. I only have about 1000 miles on tha clutch and flywheel. Has this happend to anyone else?

Did you try adjusting the pedal at all? I'm thinking that your push rod on your slave is too short. Might wanna try a longer one.

See It was working just fine than it just went out, and not between a shift either. I have new master and slave .New braided line. New fork and pivot ball. Didn't use the tob that came with the kit. I ordered a new oem one. I thought that lengthening the rod was just a band aide for an even bigger problem? Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't a longer master cyl. push rod just preload the clutch, and even make things worse?

So what you're basically saying is you did everything BUT adjust the clutch properly?

I'm having problems with engagement not disengagement. It shifts smoothly into all gears, but when I let the clutch out I got nothing. If I rev it up a bit it will vibrate a little but not that much. The clutch never slipped not even once before this. Always grabbed hard with some normal chatter here and there.

Yes the clutch was adjusted properly accordingly to the RRE's page. I even had to pull the trany off a second time to shim the pivot bal a little. sorry I left that part out.

The clutch pedal will vibrate? That's usually a sign of the TOB going out.

No The trough out bering is fine. Its brand new oem. I broke the xtd stage four clutch disk.

same thing happened to me when my uncle installed my clutch i drove it for like 500 miles which is the break in period and then it just wouldnt go into gear sometimes it did when i use to pump it now it doesnt go into gear at all i am going to install a new master and slave cylinder hopefully that would fix it since it has a litlle leak by the pedal
