Cant get into gear
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...

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)

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.

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.
