Default Car not goin into gear???

well about 3 months ago i installed a Textralia clutch. I did not do the drill mod. Anyway i broke in teh clutch and even drag the car a few times before it went away for winter. the clutch seemed fine. Last week it was very nice out so i decide to take the car out. It was real hard to get into gear and would barley go into reverse. I dotn no what to do now is it bc it was cold (i never drove the car with 20-30* temp) or do i need to bleed the system some more, or just do the drill mod? i am lost and i am doin H/C swap hopefully this week so i figured i mine as well fix thsi too

do the drill mod and pressure bleed the system or mity vac, etc. go to ls2.com and look at the jmd method.

Sounds like the slave cyl to me.

Did you change it when you did the clutch?

Usually when you can't get it into gear its cause your clutch isn't disengaging all the way. If you changed it, I would follow the above advice and bleed it more.

Check the routing of your slave feed line= that it is not too close to exhaust members. Insulate this line if you suspect heat concerns.
