Question Clutch Problems....

Well the wierdest thing happenned today as i was driving around. I was stopped at a light for not more than a minute and when the light decided to turn green i couldnt get my car into gear. crap... so i turn the car off put it in gear start the car in gear and am able to pull off the road into a parking lot. this were it gets wierd... after checking everything i possible can with no tools i decide to try to limp my car to my parents house which is only a 5 minute drive from where i am at..lol much closer than the 30 minutes to my place. during that 5 minute drive my clutch will let me go into first gear about 60% of the times i try(20). then once i am rolling i can change gears perfectly and it feels fine. but sometimes i just cant get it to go into a gear when i am stopped.

I recently replaced the Clutch master cyclinder with a new oem part. the clutch line with a stainless one from k2rd. the slave cyclinder with the FEED big slave. the clutch form with a new oem part. and the throw out bearing with a new oem part also. i have been driving for about 3 weeks since i have installed all these parts.

the clutch just doesnt seem to seperate sometimes....almost like a bad fork again..but i dont think so because i can change gears perfectly after i am rolling.
sooo i cant figure out why it decided to be all funky today. any ideas? cause i am TOTALLY stumpped

thanks
john

Bleed it.

It sounds like the clutch is not disengaging completely.

Jack up the car, open the trany cover, and have someone push relesase the clutch pedal, and see from underneath that the fork works to pull the pressure plate, in turns releasing the clutch.
Did you try to adjust the clutch using the stops on the pedal also?
