Hey Guys

I just put in the new Competition Twin Clutch

I got everything running and then when I go to put it into gear, i cant!

The thing is, when i had car jacked up (all four tires off the ground), the car went into gear, a bit rough but it did go into gear, all the gears

but now it wont go into any gears, it complete lock out

 

this is just a shot in the dark (and i am no expert), i had trouble putting the car into 5th and reverse, but after i put some anti-seize grease on the under hood bushings (kartboy?) the shifter shifts like a hot knife through butter. i would try that or at least look at your under hood bushings (if they're stock). if they need to be replaced, check out ams or buschur, they both have, i believe, aluminums for around $30...gl and let me know if that was the cause...

 

il try that, but like i said it did work fine when all tires were off the ground, then 5 mins later when i had car on ground to go for test drive, i got lockout

 

bump

anyone???

 

When you say it shifted while off the ground, were you just pushing the shifter into the gears without engaging the clutch? Do you have clutch pressure? If not, bleed the clutch/brakes. If you have pressure, did you adjust the clutch? Lastly, was this upgrade out of necessity or not? If the clutch was working fine before you swapped out for the twin, then you can rule out the bushings, but check them anyway (are they connected?). It's all usually the most simplest thing(s)

 

i am going to re-bleed and see where that will get me.

And yes i have been adjusting the clutch

And i went to twin clutch because my old ACT was slipping
ill check the bushing tho

god i hope your right when you say its simple lol i dont want to have to rip the thing apart all over again

 

retainer clip on clutch or throw out bearing

 

In this scenario, is the lever arm approx. middle ways? If the wedge collar/TOB/retainer clip for wedge collar into PP is installed correctly, the lever should not move by hand towards the engine no matter how hard one pushes (unless you have gorilla strength). If it does pop out and moves to the left, then the abovementioned assembly has been incorrectly installed. Been there and have done it.

 

new clutch came with push style conversion kit, and the TOB is hydrolic

 

how stiff is the clutch when you step on it?

 

i adjusted the pedal so its pretty stiff, however before the adjustment, clutch would stay to the floor when pressed

 

Nice! I love push-type. I really hate this pull-type clutch. I didn't like it on the R33/R34 GTRs, and I certainly hate it on the EVO.

 

you had a r34!! nice!

but yeah i never driven push, and this certainly is making me hate push lol

 

hey guys i checked the bushings, they are fine

i adjusted the clutch pedal so it doesnt have much slack and the pedal gets hard, however giving it slack the pedal just drops to the floor, so i will re-bleed the clutch

any other help will def be appreciated!

 

did you bent the shifting cable bracket under the hood, I did when I did my clutch and shifting was all f'd up. I had to have my car off the ground and kept bending the bracket with a pry bar and try to shift over and over until the bracket was streight enough. my 2cents.
