If you can't get it to go in to any gear. I would lean twards the clutch being bad. a freind said to me if its just not going into one gear, its the trans but if it wont go into all, its the clutch. he has rebuilt a few and said nothing would stop all gears at the same time.

This wouldn't be the first problematic Spec clutch reported on this board...

could it be that you need to shim the slave closer to the motor to disengage the clutch properly?

or are you using improper technique to bleed the clutch hydraulics?

maybe you need an adjustable master to gain travel?


good luck man.
