Im beyond frustrated with this job. Hahaha. This is the second time I had the transmission off in the last 3 days trying to figure out this problem.
First, I had absolutely no clutch problems before doing this job, I just wanted to upgrade as I am about to purchase a tune and bought a 17/22. After finishing the first time around, The clutch pedal was super soft, engagement was near the floor, and I could almost shift without pressing in the clutch.
I decided to take off the transmission and check the clutch fork and throw out bearing. Nothing looked off, but I made sure to order a new clip and made sure the throw out bearing was still attached.
I just finished tossing it on for the second time, now the clutch pedal is all the way on the floor and doesnt leave. I dont have the axles in, but I notice the transmission flanges turn slowly even when the car is in Neutral. Is this normal?
I took out the slave cylinder checking for leaks. With the clutch pedal on the floor the rod does not depress. When I pull up the clutch pedal, I can get the rod to depress which in turn sends the fluid back into the master, and when i let go of the rod the slave fills back up with fluid. It seems like the slave is working fine.
I stuck a small screw driver in the slave cylinder hole inside the tranny and I cant get anything to move . Should I be able to move the fork? I seriously dont want to take this thing out a 3rd time! I checked for leaks everywhere and dont see any.
To bleed the clutch do I need to undo the nipple on the slave, depress the clutch pedal, tighten the nipple, lift up on clutch pedal, then repeat? I just dont see if being the clutch fork this time around. Ive searched, but the transmission flanges moving slowly in neutral has me somewhat concerned. Almost like the clutch isnt disengaged.
Please help as Im stranded and my boss will eat me alive if I cant figure this out tonight.
Best.
