clutch release problem

here is the back story. transmission went bad so i replaced it. in order to do that i took the hydraulic slave cylinder off of the bell housing so i could remove the bell housing and now my clutch will not release all of the way.

i purchased a Zoom Performance Products 30009 - Zoom High Performance Clutch Kit

what is going on. i would like to get this fixed asap.

Re: clutch release problem

try bleeding your clutch hydraulics.............. if not then you might have to replace them. i had the similar issue a few days ago with a new clutch(zoom)

i replaced the master and slave. now my clutch works mint......... i know i prolly didnt have to replace both but it took me an hours or so to do them and 20 minutes to bleed em out........ and only cost me 80.00 for both parts together

Re: clutch release problem

well i bled my clutch and im still having issues.

when the car is in the air the clutch fork will move about a inch but when it is down on the ground it only moves about half an inch.
