cant get any gear after new clutch change
HELP

stara

do you mean you get no drive when you release the clutch pedal, or will it not go into gear with the engine running.

What is it with these vague questions? Did you change it yourself? Did you drive it for a while and then lost all gears? Does it just crunch or is there no resistance at all? Has the clutch been bled?
Pull your finger out and give some more info ffs!

i fitted my self with help
once it was allput back together i started car put clutch down and then went to put it in gear but it would not let me,but it does go in gear with engine off
it feels all normal when i depress the clutch,

Have you 'clicked' the thrust bearing back into the clutch cover?
Is the clutch pedal pressure stupidly light to push down?

Are you SURE the driven plate is in the right way round with the words 'Flywheel side' facing the flywheel?

The way you describe it is classic of the clutch assembly simply nor separating when the pedal is pressed down.
Bleeding the clutch is always a good idea after a change, especially when you have the TMIC off the engine.

yes the thrust berring is in,the clutch pedal feels fine
and i put the flatter side on to the fly wheel,
i will bleed 2mo ,it does feel like it needs to pull the clutch more ive been told that you can adjust the bitting point as its a 230 mm clutch i put in would that withdraw the clutch more then
thanks matt

You have this problem posted twice in different areas!
Wondered where my response had gone to...

Seems you have covered all the obvious areas, so changing the clutch point is a good starting point.
Bleed well first though using dot 5 fluid.

sorry but how do you adjust the bitting point in a hydralic clutch didn't think it could be done to be honest

The only thing you can do is to change the pedal free play which gives the feeling of a bit point change.

the springs on the clutch plate are touching the flywheel nuts so the plate is not sitting on the flywheel
it must be the wrong clutch

Have you tried to put the New Age clutch into the classic cover/flywheel?
If so i don't think they match.

I trust you have read the thread 2 or 3 above yours in the section ?
He has/had the same issue.
This was the prob of 'cross-fitting' in the clutches, the friction disc kissing the flywheel bolts.

I knew someone had told me about it some time ago, I think it was David at API!
