    iAye pobrecita! Hate to see such neglect. Anyhow, I wish I knew the answer to your no-start problem. You may have a ground issue with the dash support being out, but I've never done a disassembly to that level to know for sure.

    i had to cause of me trying to pull that gray glued up carpet with sum pliers and pull 2 wires apart on my pcm and had to remove the airbox under the dash to get to it to fix it a major pain in the tail. ima replace my heater core and everything while i got it out lol so i aint gotta do it again. and yes ill agree neglect like that is terrible and the sad part is it was like a 30 year old man letting go like that u would think he would no how to check the dang oil its kool though ima get the block checked and if its good im gonna start my build race motor

    First bleed the system completely, adjust the pedal and then move to the other stuff. A slave or master cylinder are bad if they are leaking fluid, take off the slave cylinder boot and see if there any fluid leaking also check the area of the clutch pedal/master cylinder for leaks.

    if the tires are spinning then it is engaging you mean it wont disengage, and yes, you need to bleed the system and you should be good to go unless you messed somthing up :)

    let me know i have almost brand new slave and master if you need them ill hook you up.

  15. #95
    yea i ment disengaugeing lol i dnt got any leaks so ill keep bleading it and if it dont work ill try adjusting it. if that dont work i might have to drop it again to see if i done something wron with the release bearing it does just stay on with that wire clip right? or does it hook to the metal and the clip hold it in place?

    when i took off the old one it popped off so i didnt really get to see how it whent on

    Yes the release bearing stays on with the clip only, the clutch release fork attaches to the trans by the pivot ball.
    Bleed the system as much as you can. DO you have pressure on the pedal or does it easily goes to the floor without? Adjust the pedal. Have someone step on the clutch pedal and watch for the slave cylinder movement.

    ok just makeing sure i put it on right cause it was a little lose with just that clip on it lol just bleed the crap out of the system still wont disengauge gonna go and adjust it now acording to how that video u put on here for me tell me to and hope that works if not ima drop thje trans to make sure everythings right in there. i was bleeding it wrong i thought u did it like u did brakes didnt no u cracked the bleader open and then pressed the pedal. so got it bleed to were nuttin but fluid comes out now so it should be bleed plenty pedal is very tight but it does have some small play in it right as u push down on it but i think thats were it need adjusting. with it being a new clutch and all it might need to be adjusted back. gonna do that nxt hope for the best will let yall no.
