clutch problem.. wont go in gear! I have a slight problem. My car wont go into any gear. I think its the adjustable master. I have a cartek clutch with the master and i will have the clutch to the floor and it will start driving.. Not good, thats when it does go into gear. We bled the master and the fluid was black , bled it till it was clear and it worked for about three times then seized up again. Is it more than a bad master? I know i have to do a drill out mod, but i dont think it will help me now.. PLEASE help me, this is my daily driver.

Re: clutch problem.. wont go in gear! Check your fluid again. Is it still clear? Also check for a leak at the master. That o-ring is easy to tear. I had to install mine twice because of that frickin o-ring... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

Re: clutch problem.. wont go in gear! the fluid is clear, we bleed and flushed the old stuff, the other stuff was pretty bad. You think it could be the O-ring ? I cant tell if its leaking, i will check it in the morning see if its losing fluid..

Re: clutch problem.. wont go in gear! six-seven months i suppose.. Dont quote me..It has bein workin fine, first time out to the track with a e.t. street, first run and i cant get into second. I ran a 12.6 at 111mph granny shifting and the other runs it still wasnt going in. I adjusted the rod on the master at the track, i tried everything. Its got to be the master, otherwise the clutch would engage.. wheres nineball or jsears, get some m6 veterans.

Re: clutch problem.. wont go in gear! Did you adjust the rod out?? I know on mine I had to move the pedal up in order for the car to go into gear. I would give that a try. We also had to get the car up on an angle to bleed the unit, due to the slave already being on an angle. Hope this helps out. thanks..Michael

Re: clutch problem.. wont go in gear! I have adjusted the rod several times as i posted. I bled it on my lift, not much of an angle, seemed to work fine, heard these cars arent good for bleeding, heard they still get alot of air back in. I will see soon enough what the problem is..
