wont go into gear!

[pheonixS13KA24]

my clutch lost pressure before and i got the master cylinder replaced and it fixed it. Now its hard to get into gear sometimes and when im driving on the highway i cant shift in to the next gear without it grinding. One of my friends said that the hydrolic lines could be cloged. has anyone ever hade this problem? what should i do?

[deviousKA]

bleed you slave cylinder. Your system has air in it not allowing the slave to have its full travel, so when you push the clutch in its not going all the way. Remember to keep your master cylinder full while bleeding.

not to sound stupid, but how would i do that?

[deviousKA]

similar to bleeding brakes. on your slave cylinder there is a bleed valve just like on brakes. Make sure your master resevoir is full each time you bleed some fluid out.

There are a few methods on bleeding hydraulic systems. Many good tutorials online just search around

if bleeding it doesn't work, you may need to rebuild or replace your slave cylinder. it's been known to fail shortly after replacing the master cylinder.

thanx for the info

when i replaced my clutch, i had the exact thing happen to me. it wouldnt go into gear unless i was moving. it was just the adjustment on the clutch pedal that adjusts when it ingages. when my pedal was to the floor, the clutch wasnt fully disengaging. its at the back of the pedal arm there is a lock nut and a bolt you turn.

nice car man. is there a noticable difference with the hotshot intake? because i was thinking of getting one.

[daniel240]

thanks, the hs intake is very good quality. i like it a lot. hs and injen are the best 2 intakes imo. i could tell quit a bit of difference. it also gives your car a deep throaty sound. i thought i was going to sell it since im doing the turbo but i think i will keep it for the IC piping.

I would look at bypassing the box that is inline between the slave cylinder, and master cylinder. Causes sooooo many headaches, plus, with it in place, you'll be bleeding the clutch forever!
