Angry Car will not go in any gear.

Ok, I'm at a loss. I have now replaced everything in the clutch 'system'. I have a new 9.5# fly-wheel, new pressure plate, clutch disc, master/slave cylinder, and I just ordered a SS Braided clutch hose from RP. When the problem started I pulled the transmission and discovered that the bearing inside the eccentric shaft had all but turned into metallic dust. It took me longer to remove the race(about all that was left)from that bearing than it did to do the rest of the removal/install combined; I got it out without causing any dmage to the e-shaft though. Other than that bearing everything seemed fine, though apparently the bearing was a symptom and not a cause. I would appericate any feed-back you guys could provide.

I'm willing to bet money that you've installed your clutch disc in backwards. Sucks to be your bro, ask me how I know...

Have you checked your Hydraulics? Have someone actuate the clutch, and watch your slave cylinder to see if its working.

Hmmm... Thanks steve, I'm sure thats what I did as I did not realize that the clutch disc was directional in any way. On the up side I have now gotten to the point where I can uninstall/reinstall evey one of these parts in about 3hrs. Muscle memory at work I suppose. I'll go in and flip it around on Saturday, thanks for your help.
