Wont go into gear after clutch swap? Read this. I hear a lot of people saying after they do a clutch swap they have a hard time getting the car to go into gear. Some attribute it to not bleeding the slave properly. Here is a quote directly from installuniversity.com
"Install the transmission mount finger tight and install the cross member with 2 13 mm bolts for shim testing. Also slide the drive shaft into the transmission and install the u-joint staps on the rear end with a 11mm socket. Install the shifter. Start the car in neutral. Try putting it in first gear. If it doesn't go into gear, install a thicker shim. If it goes into gear, test the engagement point by holding the brake and slowly releasing the clutch pedal."
Prior to reading the article I did not know that about the shims and thought I would share the information that I found.
