1G Shifting Problem 1g DSM

[Smoodle]

My 1990 Eclipse GSX won’t go into any gear when I try and shift, so the car has been immobile. It will only go into reverse but will grind so I pull back into neutral. It did not do this when I first got the car but after I replaced the clutch master and slave cylinder (I did this because it would go into gear but needed to be pumped like five times before I could) and now this problem is here. Today I replaced the save cylinder push rod with an extended rod to help increase throw but the problem consists. It sounds like there is just air in the system and I need to purge it but it does not work. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Did you adjust the master at all?

Did you adjust the master at all?

After the first time I installed it yes, but I don't know what the right length is because I threw away the old one when I replaced it (yeah dumb choice). I didn't adjust after bleeding the master and stuff though.

No big deal. There’s about two inches of rod between the boot and the lock nut on mine. I’d start at about 1.75 inches and make full turn adjustments from there. Then 1/4 turns to really dial it in. Leave the lock nut loose until it’s good. I found the rod turns when tightening the lock nut so keep that in mind.

I adjusted the master cylinder but I have not gotten results. I might have actually because now I can shove it into first at least, but the car creeps when I do. But I was wondering if this switch in the video that is pressed by the clutch pedal needs to be pressed when the clutch pedal is released because it does not. The clutch pedal will be a couple of millimeters away from the switch when release but I have to pull the clutch pedal back further for it to connect. Again any help is appreciated.

That’s the cruise control switch so when you press the clutch in, it shuts the cruise control off. That’s it’s only function in stock form. You can back that out and also the starter switch at the bottom to give you more throw. See if that helps. Also check to see if you have a worn clutch pedal assembly. I’d doubt it since it was fine before but who knows
