Air in slave cylinder?????????? My car is hibernating in the driveway right now, it will not go into gear with the engine running but will go into anyone when it is off, and I think its air in the line from the slave cylinder to the clutch. Am i going in the right direction or is there any suggestions on what might be the problem? Is there anyone who knows a website or where a right up will be on how to bleed the clutch with detailed instructions with pics. What do yall think about power bleeding, whats the best? Any info will help

If the slave isn't leaking fluid it's not bad. You'll know if it's leaking because it will be leaking out of the slit between the gear box and bellhousing. When you installed the master did you put it in bench bled with the reservoir attached and full?
I'm assuming by now you've got all new fluid in the system. If not, check the condition of the fluid, should be basically clear and free of contaminates. It's not your throwout.You'll hear noise when you engage the clutch if the throwout is bad. Either you have a bad hydraulic component, air or contaminates in the system, or your pressure plate isn't releasing. A very unlikely possibility is that the input shaft is binding up against the pilot bearing because of an alignment issue. This would cause the input shaft to turn when it shouldn't be.

Ok finally i got the chance to install my new clutch, PP, an flywheel. The problem was deffinatly the clutch PP an flywheel, when i pulled the tranny the last time the PP teeth looked fine, but when i pulled it off last weekend half of them were in an the other half were out, ohh it was nasty! then i went ahead an removed the PP an clutch disk an it looked like my flywheel had herpes, Hotspots everywhere! lol I installed everything an it is running fine now!!!! much quicker revs, I like!!!!!! I had hell puttin the transmission back in though, I guess the disk was a little off. I broke a piece off of the bellhousing whle attempting to snug the bolts down while still manevering the tranny in place, does anyone out there have an extra one they want to sell or websites i can order from, I cannot find these things!?!?!

The bellhousing is expensive. When I was troubleshooting a problem I ended up getting a new one from gmpartsdirect and I think it was around $300.00 or so. Then when that wasn't the problem I "sold" my old one to some jackass up here that didn't pay.
