Unhappy Please help, stuck in neutral?

Ill keep it short

New Comp Twin Clutch
Have 500 miles on clutch, still doing the 1000mile break in

On way home, was in 5th gear around 3500 rpm and then it just revved high, as if the clutch just slipped

I then went to down shift, but NOTHING
it would not go into any gears at ALL
ill rephrase that - i can shift it into all gears but it wont go, itll just rev up and not move

- No gears work
- Clutch pedal still hard
- Went under car and looked at hydrolic TOB, it still does its job when slave cylinder is pressed (push style)
- Car is off, i put it in 1st gear and turn the key, car turns on with no problem but doesnt move (instead of jump starting)

it is as if its stuck in neutral or something
im going to look at it today, just need some input and help

Unfortunately man it sounds like nothing you are going to fix with the tranny in the car. Im sure your issue will be quite obvious after you have it apart.

If I had to guess id say broken input shaft? or the clutch hub, which is unlikely because its twin disk both would have to break.

sounds like you are locked out or the clutch went bad.. I would recheck the TB arm again.

Have you heard any whining sounds coming from the car? When you try and disengage the clutch do you hear any sounds? I had an issue similiar to this when I got my new clutch, seems that there was not any/very little fluid in the transfer case which caused it to overheat and blow up. I'm no expert but I thought I would share my experience.

Bro... it's been over two weeks now... As you said, it's time to re-do the job.

When you get it sorted, you will def be the twin-clutch/push-type conversion expert. Good luck, broham!

Didn't say it was easy, and yeah, I've been there enough times where it seems easy, but it's just that it doesn't faze me. It's still a PITA, regardless. Wish I could help you out. I'm just rooting for you from across the world. I would def write a how-to in the end, if it were me. Hang in there, broham!

Oh! that really blows that the manufacturer won't respond to you. I'll just remember to steer clear of them if i ever decide to go twin.

At least your not a bummer like my buddy with a Suby, when i did a simple turbo upgrade for him. You'll get sorted just keep that patience it seems you already possess. and will live on! Let us know what you find.

I know you will get it done and running right lol you probably have that whole drivetrain memorized and you probably can disassemble and reassemble in your sleep like me. Yeah, I wish I didn't but I'm glad I can. Sheesh! with the experience gained from hard work and lady luck being a biatch, you might as well open your own EVO gearbox removal/replacement gig

Why what did you see? Any pictures? From the tranny there is always the risk to even damage your engine...
