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???

 

you did or did not bleed the slave?

 

Sorry, I didnt.

 

Get busy bleeding it. Air is the biggest pain in the **** with the hydraulics.

 

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.

 

I did use the bench bleed method to get all the air out of the master using a mityvac.

 

Try using the mityvac on the resevoir

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.

 

thanks guys. Looks like I will be bleeding the slave tomorrow.

 

Do you have a firm pedal?

 

I havent started to bleed it yet, but the pedal is pretty firm (although the first 1" or so is pretty sloppy).

 

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?

 

Sounds like a bad slave maybe. Did you replace it with the clutch?

Yes, however, it was a slightly used slave (supposedly for 400 miles).
