Clutch problems. I'm F****D! HELP!!!!!

[Raptor]

Well, if you want, bring the pressure plate, flywheel and clutch disk to the shop and I will make sure they are all good so you can eliminate them as the problem.

Raptor, can I take it to the shop tomorrow (Sunday)? Would I need the assembly screwed on together or just bring the PP, Disc and Flywheel without the screws. My original plan was to have everything back into the car by the end of that day. I was reading on tuners about guys with similar problems and they said something about removing the fluid accumulator and welding 2 nuts to the lever that the Master Cylinder screws into. Would this solve my problem also?
Craig, I have a brand new Pressure Plate...so I dont think the fingers are off. But I'll check just incase, I need to figure this problem out soon...

First we can eliminate the clutch itself then figure out what else might be causing the engagement issues. But yea, bring the assembly with bolts, we don't need the flywheel to crank bolts, just the pp bolts. Sunday is fine, give me a quick call right before you head out.

Ok...sounds good.

If your flywheel measures out fine, your PP isn't obviously fucked up and your disk is new, you should have no problems. Did you adjust your clutch pedal and properly bleed the system when you got the clutch in? I think you're missing something small here.

The flywheel is fine (had Napa check) new PP and disc. I dont think I bled the system nor adjusted the pedal. I didnt know how to so I didnt try, didnt want to screw anymore stuff up. I hope its just something small...but with my luck right now..it's not. :)

Um... you probably wasted your time pullin the tranny out again if you didnt bleed the system after you installed the clutch, and you definetly need to adjust the clutch when going from a stock clutch to a aftermarket clutch. Those 2 things could be your problem.

I dont think RSmotors adjusted my clutch when they installed the ACT 2100, so I didnt think I'd need to adjust it with the 2600 either. Yeah, I hope I didnt waste my time. I'll have Raptor take a look at the assembly just incase.....since I have it out anyways. My So-Called-Mechanic cousin told me it was the flywheel and ONLY the flywheel, so I took it back out. He doesnt believe that it could be anything else. Now he doesnt have the time to help me put my tranny back in...lol.

Have you checked your master cylinder to make sure its working properly? Just because you have pedal pressure doesn't mean that it isn't bad. Since you have everything out I agree it would be a good idea to check it all over again. But like Steve said I think you are missing something simple here that will solve your problems.

Also just because you 'think' somebody else adjusted your clutch doesn't mean that it stayed that way. You can't just assume because someone else did it that its not the problem. Check to make sure your clutch isn't adjusted wrong, that could very easily be your problem and your going to kick your self in the ass if you do find that out. Check the obvious things first and then go from there.

He said it. I had the exact same problem even when I switched from a cfdf to a 2600. just adjust those two 14mm’s all youll be good to go.
