New clutch now cant select gears?
 
I have fitted a new clutch now i cant select any gears when the engine is running?

Clutch pedal feels fine and as you would expect.
Its been bled as well so cant be that.

Anyone any ideas as im all out................................:brickwall

Clutch center plate fitted back to front ??

172sport 12 August 2008 06:26 PM

Nope.

Also i can see the diaphragm moving when peering through the actuating lever hole (rubber cover peeled back)

Is the fork "clicked" back in to place correctly?

You can see the diaphragm moving but its prob not getting full "throw" to disengage the center plate from the flywheel.
As redscoob said or the release bearing is adrift.
Did you change the flywheel at the same time for a lightened one ??

Its a std flywheel.

How can the clutch not be clicked in correctly? its a pull type so diaphragm wouldnt move at all would it if the bearing was not engaged?

Perhaps new driven plate is a bit uneven causing drag. Will it start in gear with pedal depressed, if so you can do a few starts to get any high spots off.

The car is still up in the air, guess ill give it a try. Really not looking forward to taking it out again. Grrrr

It wasnt pretty. started it up in gear on the stands, dipped the clutch and put the handbrake on while holding it at about 5000rpm.....................................!

After that I brought it up to the biting point a few times with the hand brake still on :thumb:

Sounds a bit brutal. Glad you're sorted at no additional cost.
