will not go into gear!
Hello everybody.
So the other day my car died on me in the middle of the road. When I mean die I mean that it would not go into gear. Any gear. If the car is off it will easily glide into every gear just fine. Its only when the car is running that I can not go into any gear preventing me from moving. I started it in first and chugged my way home. Some times (once it is running) I could easily go to 2,3,4 but some other times it was almost impossible. I am talking about using 2 hands to yank it down from 1st gear into 2nd gear. I did some research and looked at the clutch master cylinder. I topped it off with fluid and it worked for about 1 hour worth of driving until it broke down again.
I took out the clutch master cylinder today and cleaned it because this YouTube video showed the same issue and that was what worked for him (it was dirty and fully of black gunk at the bottom) but once I filled it up and bled it I am having the same issue. Can not go into gear.
My car is turbo but I don't race or launch it.
My clutch is a competition stage 2 with lightweight flywheel (about 2-3 years old) and it has the Verus clutch fork
Before I swapped clutches I had the original throw out bearing go out and I remember how loud and awful that noise was. I do not have that now.
I don't have any odd noises besides the normal chatter sounds due to the light weight flywheel.
I am at a loss on what to check for next. It could be the master cylinder is dead even though the pressing the clutch the fork moves just fine.
If the car is running and I have clutch down, when I move the shifter knob to try and go into any gear, its like its just hitting a wall. I can feel it want to engage because it tries to grab on and pulls the car forward a tad bit.
I watched videos of a slipping clutch and I don't have that. I had plenty of power when I was making my way home once I got it into gear. I really dont want to drop the transmission and buy a new clutch kit.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
Thank you!!
