i have a 1992 camaro 3.1L V6 with a T5 transmission


after i replaced the clutch and components, master and slave cyl. my clutch still isnt disengaging and wont let me go into any gear still, it is fully bled and ive tried everything. i got the flywheel machined .016 and didnt shim it at all. can someone please help me, i need it done by this weekend cuz its my daily driver

 

Check your pivot ball, and possibly the clutch fork.

Mine was worn badly and in need of replacement; wouldn't shift - Same issues you're having.

 

i have, i can seem to disengage it with a pry bar, but not hydraulically

 

Dante has a point but also have you tried pressing the pedal back and forth between all the way down and up . You don't have to press it to the floor or let it come all the way up just slowly work it between those points . Alot of times even though you bled it you can still have some air in there and this will work it out . I do this even if I do bleed the system and have never had a problem .

 

move the pedal between fully up and fully down? and i even hooked a vacuum bleeder upto it, and didnt do anything, still no pedal

 

Just move the pedal back and forth but not all the way up or down to work out the air . When you open the bleeder to bleed or to use the vacuum method you only get from the reservoir and the master not the slave . Thats why I prefill my slaves at an angle and hook them up then I do the pedal method I spoke of and have never had a problem .

 

dont understand, what point are you at when you open the bleeder?

 

I don't open the bleeder I just fill the slave with fluid holding it at an angle so the air comes out the hookup for the line then I just hook everything up and do the pedal back and forth until I can shift smoothly . I always start with the engine off and after about 100 presses of the pedal I move on to starting the engine and see if it will shift if not I keep pressing the pedal until it does . I have but one time had to keep pressing the pedal after the first 100 presses and that was because I forgot to fill the slave before installing it and had to open the bleeder to get fluid to the slave then had no problems with it .

 

alright, ill try, appreciate it, ill let ya know if it works

 

Please do .

 

Damn d00d, you gonna make me post this AGAIN???



This pic should be a sticky: "Check this pic first before posting: 'I just worked on my clutch and now it doesn't disengage!'" Anybody listening? Kevin91Z?? Help a brotha out!

Leave the hydraulics alone. They aren't the problem, especially if you didn't bust them open, which you shouldn't have, regardless; and dinking with them isn't the solution.

 

He did say he replaced the master and slave but the through out would be next on the list and yes that picture should be in a sticky for how to replace a clutch correctly .

 

i hear ya, got it covered though..once i saw that pic, new it was the problem..got her back on the road this afternoon

thanks to all for the help, appreciate it

 

You're welcome and glad to hear you got it .
