Clutch not disengaging All, I just completed my A4-T56 swap (using an LS6 clutch), and after all was said and done, I started it up while on jackstands, and everything was fine shifting in all gears. I then lowered it to the ground, but now it wont go in any gear (feels like I am locked out of all of em). It does go into gear easily with the car turn off.
Does this just sound like air in the hydraulic line??? I bled the master until I no longer saw any bubbles, but didnt bleed the slave, since I bought it used and thought it was full of fluid...
Anything else to look out for???

Do you bleed the slave just like you do the brakes?? Meaning, have some pump the clutch pedal and hold it while another opens the bleeder valve.

once the master is fully bled you can hook it up to the slave. have someone pump the pedal and then hold it on the floor and open the bleeder valve on the slave (do not release the pedal while the valve is open) Once the valve it closed repeat the process. Repeat until you get a steady stream of fluid coming out of the valve.

Already did that repeatedly until no more bubbles came out.

One more thing, when I first tried it when it was still on the jackstands, the rear wheels still rolled when the clutch was pushed all the way in, so it wasnt completely disengaging then either.

Okay, bled the slave and master and got lots of bubbles out. However, it still doesnt work. Still cant shift into any gears. Any other ideas??? Bad master? Bad slave?
