Installed new clutch.. Car won't go into gear, help!
I recently installed a new exedy stage 1 clutch. The install went fine but when I first drove the car, gears were alittle tough to get into. I adjusted the clutch pedal and right after, the shifts were smooth and everything drove fine. A few minutes later the gears were starting to stick and now the car won't go into any gear, especially reverse. When the car is off, it goes into gears fine... So the only I got to move it was by shifting into gear with the car off then starting it while in 1st/reverse. Any help on what the problem can be? Also, I bled the clutch line after the install and the shifter cables seem fine.

Try to disengage the clutch fork and then inspect with a flash light, the collar. Its hard as the whole is so small to see through. Then re engage the clutch fork. Maybe it didn't lock all the way in. |

Recently bled the clutch line again and surprisingly the car worked fine. Then after a couple minutes of driving the same problem occurred. Could the hydrolic pump that engages the clutch be going out? Maybe a leak in the clutch line?

When the car is in gear and running does it still try to move even with the clutch depressed? It sounds like your clutch is not disengaging fully. You might consider bleeding the clutch more thoroughly, there can be alot of air hiding in there and if it was some mechanical with the TOB, bleeding the clutch wouldn't make the issue go away. However if you bleed the clutch and fixed the problem but more air got in the line or moved up to the slave cylinder then it could..... I'd start there. Basically, check everything you can BEFORE you take the trans out again. |
tob or wedge collar FTW!!

Wouldn't hurt to check your slave cylinder too!

Thanks for the Advice guys. Found the problem. First, I checked if the wedge collar (wavy clip) was still intact. It was. Second I bleed the clutch line one more time. Turns out the Slave Cylinder wasnt working properly. Replaced the Clutch Slave Cycliner. STILL WASNT Engaging into gear. Turns out, when I adjusted the clutch pedal, I pulled it out to far... So the clutch stroke didnt give it enough pump to engage the Fork. I adjusted the clutch pedal back down and the car worked fine. Siked to finally get the evo back on the road.

Anyway glad you figured out your issue. :) |
From my experience, mitsu clutches seem to engage closer to the top then most clutches (stock clutch that is)
