im pretty much at the end of dealing with mitsu now
after all the minor mods and fixing my stalling problem
im coming from work and all of sudden im stopped at the light
and i cant get into gear im like ok......
so i pushed it all the way i could and slammed it into first and i manged to get home
so i figured the clutch system needed to be bled
after 2 hours of bleeding with a tech the results...
not enough pressure to get into gear or so i thought..?
i pulled the rubber boot off the slave cylinder to see whats going on
and the slave was dripping so figured after 2 years of use it needed a change
so i changed it along with the master too
2 hours of more bleeding still not enough pressure to get into gear WTF!!!
i tried raising the pedal no go
so finally i pushed into my backyard and gave up
i figured maybe something wrong with the clutch or tranny
but whenever i turn the car off and put it in gear then crank it wants to jump
im just clueless now and really pissed
any help would be appreciated
and also has anyone ever run into a problem similar to this ?

maybe you broke or bent the clutch fork, you know the one that engages the thow out bearing to the pressure plate. maybe the throw out bearing is no good. make sure there isnt fluid leaking from the clutch line where the two hard lines meet the flex line on top of the tranny. How does you pedal pressure feel? Does it feel like it did before it stopped working correctly?

Well its got some pressure to it
But no not like before
And as for the fork and the throw out bearing
Sounds like your telling me to drop my tranny
Which would of probaly ended up having for me to do anyway
Not unless there's another way of checking..
Ill drop the tranny sometime next week
It seems like its my only option

well after dropping the tranny and all
i didn't see anything wrong, the fork was in place along with the throw out bearing and the clutch disc didnt even look that used up but i decided to change everything out anyway
once i finally got everything up
i still have the same problem..... arggg
so i took my driver seat and decided to get a look at the pedal assembly
i noticed the pedal assem.. has a crack in the metal where it bolts up to the firewall sort of twisting the pedal to the side
could this be my culprit.??
i juss dont understand why it just wont get into gear after everything being replaced could the tranny just be that messed up?

Could possibly be the clutch pedal. When you press the clutch in all of the way, how far does the slave cylinder push the clutch fork over?

That could be your issue, if it doesnt push the rod in all the way or far enough that could be it. try messing with that and let us know how you make out. Also whats your schedule like? I live about 45 minutes away from you, if we can arrange a time that we are both free, I am willing to make the drive and check it out.

well one thing is for sure before the pedal felt like it did have pressure and i did notice one day when i clutched in it bent to the side almost hitting my break pedal so im sure that the prob (well hoping)
as far as the slave yeah its not gettin knocked hard enough to knock into gear it only get pushed a tiny
now im faced with going to the dealer for the pedal

well finally after waiting for the dealer and things gettin in the way i finally found sometime to get that pedal out of there and it turns out that was culprit you can check the pics below i know its not that great i tried to get the part that was messin me up the whole time ,if you look closely you can see the crack in the assembly on the left which was bending the pedal and not giving me the pressure i needed
im just glad i finally got my baby back on the road
thanks for all those who tried to help
