car wont go in gear?

[1988_supra]

hey sm i put a new clutch in my 1990 toyota supra 7mgte and when i start it up it wont go in gear and i tried reverse and all it does is grind but if the car is turned off it will slip in easily, i bleed the clutch several times nothing, also when the car is running and i put the clutch down i can feel it pulse a bit, what could be my problem thanks guys

sounds like the clutch is in wrong

The disc specifically.
And if you just unbolt the slave cyl, you dont have to mess with bleeding the lines afterward.

im pretty sure i put the disc in correctly with the alignment tool and all the friction disc is even labeled lol i can deffently take a look at it tomrrow cuz i could be a possibility but is there anything els it could be?

 

[MKIIISupraGuy]

did you put a pilot/throwout bearing in ?

 

[mkiiichip]

Is the clutch fork moving with the pedal? Could be excessive air still in the line.

 

[1988_supra]

yes i put a new throwout bearing and piolt bearing, and thats what i was thinkn mkiiichip but i need to check it out rite now its raining pretty bad out cant do nothing until tomrrow

sounds like you might have a bad clutch master cylinder

 

[1988_supra]

it is werid though why would it go bad just becaused i replaced my clutch? befor it was working fine just a slipping clutch

 

[SRZMK3]

i dunno... for some reason i keep breaking them...

i pulled the plate off the fork today it is moving, i started the car up in gear and it wouldnt leave first but the clutch was grabing but all i could smell was burning clutch and while i was cranking it it was going pretty slow

 

[SRZMK3]

shot in the dark.. did you put a new pressure plate in too?

 

[1988_supra]

yes i did

sounds like a bad clutch. my uncle's dually wouldn't go in gear & would just grind when we tried to put it in gear when it was on. Turned it off & it went in all the gears easily. but when we turned it back on & it looked like it wanted to move but couldn't & died FAST. when we took the transmission down & got to the clutch it was down to the metal. SO IT MUST BE THE CLUTCH.. If it were one of the cylinders with air trapped inside the pedal would get stuck when you pushed. But i'd go ahead and bleed everything just for the hell of it.

You put the clutch disc in backwards.

^ Bingo! I bet money he did.

I had a similar experience after my clutch job. Even though you didn't mess with the master cylinder, still check to see if the pedal freeplay is adjusted correctly. I couldn't get mine into gear, so I condemned the master and after I put that in I had the same issue. Just had to adjust the pedal and now its all good.

not to thread jack, but what is the proper way to install/ or tell if the clutch is in correctly?
