Help Needed; wont shift into gear
Help Needed; wont shift into gear
I replaced my clutch/flywheel about 4 weeks ago. I tried to go out in my car today and it wouldnt go into gear. First thing I did was bled the clutch lines (thinking there was an air pocket in there) - No go. So, I change out my clutch slave cylinder...bleed the clutch, crank it up...it builds pressure quick, but still wont go into gear.
So, I decide to tighten my clutch pedal up a little bit...and FINALLY it went into gear after that. However...I drive over to a friends place, park it for about 30 min, tried to leave, and
it wont go into gear again...
Whats going on here? Is there still air in my clutch line? Clutch master cylinder toast?
Im 99% sure it's not my TO bearing...but any help would be appreciated.

after doing a 5spd swap on a 4th gen a few months ago, I found that nissan techs bleed the clutch a specific way if ever changing out the master cylinder
i recall that you pump the clutch pedal 10 times at moderate speed and then 10 times rapidly. Then you get out of the car and loosen the bleed screw, there should be tons of bubbles coming out (something about pressurizing the system). I'll ask for the specifics again next time I'm at the dealer, but try that for now

from doing a 5 spd swap, I bled my clutch by pumping it ~5 times and let the air out. It's been AOK for well over a year.
Bijan, sounds like your master cylinder/clutch pedal is not fully engauging/disengauging.
Try and adjust your pedal again. Can you move the shifter with the carr off with out the clutch in?
