Didn't read all the post but thought I would put in my .2 cents......

I had the same problem, I torqued the bolts down to tight on the pressure plate.
Do you have fluid in the tranny?

Also when I tried to put the car in gear while running the RPM's would stumble down? Does your do this? If it does I suggest you dont keep trying over and over or the TB will damage the forks on the pressure plate.

Yes it was resolved. I put the old ACT clutch back and problem solved. Momo182, is your clutch pedal soft? I would check for leaks on your clutch line.

momo182 05-29-2008 11:16 PM

the clutch pedal is firm. there are no leaks anywhere that I could see. I changed the slave and clutch hose to stainless braided from flyin miata so that may be the reason why my pedal feels firm, but i'm not sure. The slave has no leaks around it and neither does the hose.

momo182 05-29-2008 11:24 PM

Also if I pump the clutch pedal it still doesn't go in gear. But I know the slave pushrod is pushing the fork because I can see it doing so. It looks like it's moving a lot too. I'm betting on it not being air for that reason, but will still get a master cylinder replacement just to know all my hydraulics are fine. Anybody know how to bench or if I even have to bench bleed the master cylinder?

So did you can shift gears, before you swap the stainless line? I would think you have air in your clutch system, if you change the line and didn't bleed the clutch line. And WTF is that "Warning Level 1" shit under your name? Is it a noob banner? :giggle:

momo182 05-30-2008 12:04 PM

lol i have no idea what that warning thing is haha. but yea I changed the hose and slave at the same time, bleeding right after. I actually bled it two seperate times just to be sure. Does the rear of the car have to be jacked up too? Some people say a level surface helps to get out all the air.
