Clutch Not Disengaging - FIXED (See Final Comment) - Page 2

OK, Just got a set of engine mounts, ready to chuck the motor back in to give it a go. Can anyone recommend a good quality urethane to pump into the mounts to strengthen it up a bit? Or wont it matter?

All good. Motor is back in. But gear stick is WAY to far forward. seems like its in 1st when its in neutrel, thats how far forwared it is. Weird, going to take a better look at it tonight. After that just oil etc. Slave cylinder should be here soon (here's hoping)

No luck guys. going to take it to the mechanics tomorrow and see how it goes.

Thanks

All right everyone. Solution found.

Due to having such a heavy duty pressure plate, the clutch pedal was Bending.

Every so slightly, it bent, just enough so I couldn't disengage the plate. So i tried and i tried, I bled it and u could use it till you'd pumped the clutch 3 or 4 times. then it would go again, then bled it again, then it would go again.

Thanks to Shred Industries, they tried this then realised that the clutch was bending more and more, so we bent it back, welded an extra bracket on, re-bled the clutch. Waalaa

All that time and effort. Finally.

Now the motors throwing out error codes, steerings all outta whack, cars shaking everywhere. Meh, all stuff I should be able to sort out myself though. Thanks for all of your help guys.

Cheers

Fark you must have one serious pressure plate if it bends the pedal
