Question clutch problems

I have a t56, car will not go into gear after it is cranked. Before it is cranked it will go into all gears except reverse. If I crank in gear car eases up. Bleed the hell out of it under the car and used mity vac, I have a good petal. What should I be looking for to correct my problems?

Sounds like you have a bad master or slave cylinder. Unusual that you have a good pedal though, typically the pedal will not have any feel to it when something goes bad. And seeing as you have no disengagement, something is bad.

Look under the bellhousing, do you see fluid coming out of the small gap between the oil pan and trans bellhousing?? If so, your slave is blown. Also look under the dash and see if you see fluid coming out of the master cylinder, thats one indication that its gone bad. Either could also go bad without fluid leakage, you just have to figure out which one is bad.

No prob.

If you've bled the hell out of it and you're still getting a bad pedal, something is definitely wrong
