New clutch...now the car won't start?? advice?

[MikeyKaVert]

well i just put my new clutch in, and now the car wont start. nothing electrical, i checked all of the wires that were disconnected during the installation. the only thing i know to do is, get it up to like 10mph and pop the clutch...BUT i cant do that cause its a new clutch

check your starter wire to make sure it isnt loose, most the time in situations like this its something simple

okok....well i figured i needed it back up in the air so i put the ramps back in front of it and rolled the car up about 4 inches. and it turned over! i dunno what it was. but thanks for the advice

start that s*** in 1st gear, thats how i got home when my slave got dirt in it and started leakin

i know about forgeting simple things and wondering what went wrong, so thats always where i start when trouble shooting. when i put another KA in my coupe my clutch didnt have any pressure so i went and bought a new slave and master, should have done the simple thing first which was bypass the clutch block, which i ended up doing anyway but as an after thought.

yeah i tried starting it in first gear. i think (since its a 5spd conversion), there has to be this certian wire grounded out of my fuse box for my starter. so i disconnected some wires and reconnected them and tightened down some other one's. its all good now. im gonna need a new starter soon though...
