Ok i have a 1995 camaro, 3.4 v6 5 speed. Recently i replaced the clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, slave and a new clutch fork. I have had my trans in and out 5 times and i am at my wits end.

The problem is the clutch will not fully engage. I can only put it in gear when the wheels are moving. If it is sitting still there is no chance of it going into gear(started it on jackstands and when wheels moving worked. when on ground or holding brake on jackstands wouldnt go into any gear or reverse). I know everything is installed correctly and i checked the new parts with all old ones and they match up perfectly. I have tried 3 different brand new throwout bearings, 2 slaves, and even replaced the fork and like i said before redone the complete job 5 times to ensure it is all correct.

Now is there something stupid i am doing wrong or is there something else it could be. Just for ref. everything worked flawlessly before clutch job(clutch was slipping horribly and needed replaced as it was about 10 years old) but other then that no issues. Now i can't figure out anything that would cause this as i put all new parts in exactly as the old ones came out.

EDIT: i also bleed the clutch system literally 8 times to ensure no air was in the lines

Any and all help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance. -Cody

 

Did you replace or resurface the flywheel?

 

yes the flywheel was resurfaced.

 

The last place left to go is inside the transmission, can you start the car with the shifter in first gear?

Only thing I could think would be a synchro, but Im just going on things Ive read. Any noises once its in gear or while moving?

 

yes it will start in first but even with the clutch pedal all the way to the floor the wheels will still move like it is engaged.

At first i thought something inside the trans but i dont think something like that would just go out while doing the clutch because it worked perfect besides slipping before the clutch job

also i can not drive it how it is so i couldnt really tell you but when on jack stands no noises.

 

Ahhh, now I see your problem. I dont know much about the early t-5s, did it have the concentric slave cylinder or the slave outside the transmission with a release fork and ball pivot? Either way I dont know what to tell you. Sorry.

 

It has the external slave with the fork on the ball pivot.

 

Is there an adjustment? On many hydralic clutchs you have to shim the flywheel the amount you had machined off. I think autozone even stocks the shimes.

I never would have thought of that. Its worth a try, Thanks alot
