the problem is my T5 wont move the car I can just shift though the gears no noise or grinding or anything with using the clutch or without using the clutch but the car doesn't move , what Im trying to say the transmission just doesn't engage. Back ground story I got the car 350 with this T5 transmission sold the 350 bought a brand new 383 and wanted to use this T5 until I can get a TKO 600 , so I had the shop rebuild the T5 and I used the old flywheel and had it resurfaced and new clutch and pressure plate is new too. , so like I said put all this stuff back together and no engagement ?? could it be the flywheel ? please help !!! thanks a lot

 

If I am reading correctly sounds like your clutch is not releasing.

Have someone look under the car and see if the clutch fork moves then you press the pedal.

 

I will do that in the morning im at work at the moment , but wouldn't the transmission grind when I tried to put in gear and the clutch is not releasing? thanks midias just trying to get this problem solved.

 

Sounds almost like the clutch is stuck disengaged

How is the pedal feel? Did you install the disk facing the correct way?

Have you checked the fluid?

 

I put oil in the tranny ,you might be on to something with the clutch not facing the right way I am almost sure I put it on right . I guess ill just have to take it back out . and ill get a brand new flywheel while im at it . I don't know what else to do.

 

I was thinking that the shop that resurfaced the flywheel might have cut it to far.idk

 

I meant clutch fluid

They could have

 

Thanks midias ill check that fluid too . Ill just take it back out this week and change the flywheel too.

 

I think I might have figured it out!! I will check this when I get Home and I hope that's all it is .. maybe my clutch fork is pressing against the pressure plate even when the clutch pedal is not being depressed ? that would keep the clutch disengaged ?

 

Engine off, put it in neutral.
Unbolt the driveshaft.
Does the driveshaft spin?
If yes, put it in gear.
Does the driveshaft spin?
If yes, you have a clutch problem.

 

Check your clutch fork is on the throwout bearing correctly. Sounds like you might have the fork behind the bearing, not seated in the groove on the bearing.

 

Sounds like a V8 clutch disc and a 6-cyl transmission.

 

Thanks, I'll try the drive shaft when I get up. And I'll make sure the fork is on the release bearing. This is transmission that was in the car when I bought it. And It had a tpi 350

 

Well these cars never came with a 350 and a manual trans option so who knows what the previous owner did.

 

Still sounds like a V8 clutch disc and a 6-cyl transmission.
