I've got a 95' s14 manual. There is not slippage of the clutch (revs. consistant @ shift), throw-out bearing isn't making noise (barely noticable). I have fluid in slave. I can hardly get it into ANY gear. It's like I'm locked out! I did smell some burning this evening trying to get home. I am going to check trans. fluid tommorrow. Am I correct in thinking that if the transmission fluid is low it affects the clutch? I need help people...you've pulled through before so come on maniacs. I don't wanna drive my poop-mobile 99 taurus anymore than I have too!

Did you just recently replace the clutch or what?

Your clutch isn't fully disengaging for some reason. Start by bleeding the clutch hydraulics.

No.

You might want to check the clutch pedal free play; if there's too much, the clutch may not fully disengage possibly causing the difficulty in shifting the transmission.

OK...clutch is definately gone. Im pretty sure its the original. Im gonna go ahead and get a new clutch. Looking to upgrade because of future mods. I want to get a flywheel installed @ the same time. Have heard some about Spec clutches and saw the offer on this site for them as well. What do people think about these clutchs? (Im wanting the stage II) Are there any other clutch brands people would recommend for no more than 300ish HP?Thanks Anthony_S14 for the info. Nice pix.
