I give up? lol j/k. Just do a check list before you start to drive it. Is there gear oil in the trans? are all the nuts and bolts tight on the car? Dose it leak coolant? do the fans come on? Dose your temp gauge work? Just do the basic checks before you drive it unless you want to push it home. Then when you start to drive it start out slow and listen for things that don't sound right. Like your drive shaft not been straight and ect. Make sure your breaks are working too and if it all is good and your not over heating give it some gas and listen.

Just like Yellow said check everything first. Don't rush and then end up pushing or towing your car home. Start off slow. I would first have the car running to see any leaks or weird noises. Once thats been fixed try reving the car to see if it revs without hesitation. After that give it a test drive slowly on your street to see if it shifts into all 5 gears and reverse. Bring the car back to the garage and check for leaks again. Take it for a block and repeat. Etc.... Just remember one thing. Have FUN!!

If you are having problems with your clutch system not bleeding properly/easily (that is the problem I'm guessing) Fill the Master COMPLETELY full and crack the slave so it can gravity bleed, sometimes one or two air bubbles will be a royal PITA. Be sure to keep the master cylinder full and leave the system to "drip" overnight if necessary.

the only problem im having is of course the way it sets the peadal goes to the floor and stays there but when we put fluid in the thing i pull it back n forth with my had and its like nothing comes out even though im pumping the clutch ...got any ideas

[rb25drag]

The easiest and quickest way I found to do this is pull the slave off the transmission, Leave the lines connected and have someone pump the clutch while you hand bleed it, Almost like bench bleeding but you leave it on the car, Do this a few times till the slave is pumping all the way out, re-install and bleed it a couple more times and it should be good.

I have worked for hours on trying to bleed it before, This seems to only take 30 mins or so, Maybe not that long, My prob is My twin plate cusco exedy clutch is so damn hard to push in, The slave doesnt have enough travel to push the air out before it overloads its self, Bleeding it off the transmission fixed my prob.

my problem is and maybe your telling me how to fix it and im miss understanding but its like my master clutch cyliner resivour wont push any fluid out to even bleed the system no matter how hard i push the pedal nothing comes out
