I am replacing my clutch and flywheel with the ACT XT Performance Street Kit, went ahead and got the Verus fork and pivot. I will try and remember to update this post if I have any lock out issues. I did read that the stock fork does tend to bend when you upgrade the pressure plate.

Add me to the list.
Replaced my clutch/flywheel/TOB with stock/Exedy OEM ones, and now I can't shift into gear. When I took my transmission off, the fork & spline looked fine. Greased them both before installing everything. Bled the clutch with a entire quart of DOT4 brake fluid just to make sure no air is in the system. Adjusted the clutch pedal to MAXIMUM height just to make sure.. but the clutch isn't disengaging enough for me to shift into gear. I might try swapping out the slave cylinder (again) just to make sure I didn't get a defective one from Autozone. If that doesn't work, I'll pull the transmission off (again) just to check everything. |

reeves: funnily, sometimes maximum height is not the best clutch operation wise. After recent gearbox overhaul (synchros upgrade & some bearings change)/clutch change, i needed to reduce a bit pedal dead travel to get ease of gear switch back. As travel adjustment mod is simple, i suggest also to try other settings in range. Maybe it will work for you too.

edit: after catching up with your post in the DIY thread, let's continue here. I don't think the issue lies with the slave cylinder. Just have a friend verify that the clutch fork is moving normally as you press the pedal. I predict that something is wrong underneath the bell housing. :|

reeves: regarding pedal adjustment i don't look on pedal "position" at all. First i intentionally moved bite point almost before or right after beginning of travel, then started to dial back some dead travel in increments, till i was happy with result, +half turn more. I also was not looking at just basic tests like switch in gears (especially 1st & reverse) when stationary and trying to move forth & back w. clutch only, w/o gas, bet also short driving, trying out all gears.

I did attempt to shift gears (engine off) while the shifter was wrongly installed a few inches LOWER than it should've been. Not sure if that can break anything, but I didn't get it corrected until @ermax helped me out with a pic of his shifter. |

It moves normally/freely as the clutch is depressed. Like you said though, the cylinder isn't likely the culprit. I'm just swapping out a new one because it's a quicker/cheaper thing to rule out before pulling the tranny apart.

I doubt that there's anything wrong with your stock one either.

I forgot to bolt it down (after reassembling the tranny) and when I stepped on the clutch, the copper ring & pin popped out of the cylinder body. It's pretty much toast. The copper part can't be pushed in. It won't even budge now, not even a little wiggle... even on a vice grip. It's kinda bent upwards too if viewed from the side. |

K gotcha. The piston is jammed crooked. If not for that, it would slip right apart.
Oh, and the piston is aluminum with a yellow anodized finish. The finish adds some toughness to the surface and makes it corrosion resistant. It also gives a visual indication of wear as it's only a couple thousandths of an inch thick.

I have the Autozone 900061 slave cylinder on right now. Doesn't really make a difference though, it still won't shift into gear. I just wanted to eliminate the possibility that I got a faulty cylinder from them that's all, hence I'm ordering a new OEM cylinder.
Once I'm satisfied the cylinder isn't at fault, then I'll pull the tranny off to see if anything's wrong inside. Everything I replaced is Exedy OEM (clutch, pressure plate, & flywheel) so I don't know why the clutch isn't disengaging. And everyone who's had this problem either solved it by buying a new tranny, or they've vanished lol |
