Transmission issue

[Josho1]

Hey guys. I just picked up a 96 Talon TSi, FWD. 120k miles. Runs great but has a transmission component issue. While running, the car will not go into gear. Slave and Master cylinder have been "replaced". The master looks new, but the slave cylinder is a little rusty lookin, BUT the bleeder valve looks new. PO said he has bled the system multiple times and will work very briefly, but eventually goes back to the same thing. I have not seen the car move, so this is just hear say at this point. The fluid is topped off and looks clean. The only thing I have done is try to adjust the rod from the pedal to the cylinder. It is twisted all the way out and I am still able to push the slave cylinder in by hand, HOWEVER! the slave cylinder does not decompress, it stays pushed in and I lose the pedal pressure until I pump it one or two times by hand. Otherwise, I can pump the clutch pedal all day, by foot, and it continues to come back.

Any thoughts?

Told you to remove the transmission.

Get all new (flywheel disc and pressure plate)

I'm glad I listened instead of selling. Why all new? Just curious. As far as the flywheel anyways. It looks like it was resurfaced recently. Pressure plate looks new.

If the flywheel looks good then you can reuse it. Make sure you inspect it carefully for cracks.
