put the clutch in. started her up on jackstands. i got the wheels turning in 1st but it won't go into second or reverse. it feels like it's blocked. when the tranny was on the jack it fell about five inches. could that have fucked it up. it worked before the clutch was changed. should i take her off the jackstands and drive it on the street to see if it will go into gear????? anythoughts. how much is a rebuild and who does them..... is it easy to rebuild? thanks kvn

 

Will it go into ANY gear if you start it up in neutral and then try?

If not, I bet you put the disk in backwards and it won't fully release now.

Or are you saying it goes from neutral to 1,3,4,5 but not 2 and R?

it goes from n to 1,3,4,5 but not 2 and r. i don't think i put it in backwards. the flat part of the clutch disk goes towards the flywheel correct. kvn

 

try redoing the release collar. push it all the way back in. then with a srew driver pull slightly then rotate the pressure plate 1/4 turn and do this 4 times. You want to make shure it's pulled out flush on all sides. if it's uneven and not pulled out all the way out on one side then you will have problems going in gear.

 

Also trying bleeding the clutch more after the other suggestions in this thread if they don't help.

 

thanks, i will try it go racer. mahjik, i have the power bleeder that forces 10 psi into the system. all i have to do is watch the bubbles come out. i think that is one thing i did correct with this clutch job what a pain in da azz. my freaking roll bar is coming next week also. anyadvice on that lol kvn
