So my problem here is that my clutch is pretty much nonexistent when I'm driving which is pushing me to have to power shift it. It's parked right now and on jacks. I'm thinking maybe the throw out bearing or the clutch itself is trashed. What's weird though is that it only has about 4.5k miles on it. It's a stage 4 competition clutch.

The clutch seems to work when the car sits for a while but after it "warms up" I depress the pedal and nothin happens forcing me to turn the car off when I come to a stop in order for me to be Able to get the car back into gear.

Do you guys have any ideas of what I should check before I drop the trans and get into that nightmare of a job? The slave cylinder is new and working perfectly. Would the clutch master cylinder cause this issue or am really out of luck and going to have to take it all apart?

Thanks y'all for the time and help

It's possible. Try rebleed and check adjustment.

Also can you shift gears w/o clutch?

I've bled and re-bled the system with no luck.

And yes I can shift the car through each gear without pressing in the clutch

Kind of at a loss right now but I'm think it's going to end up having to remove the trans

Possible installation error. Is the clutch pedal hitting the floor with no resistance? Or is it giving resistance and just wont switch gears?

Have you checked the adjustment ? Top of Under the Hood blue stickies, DIY, Clutch adjustment

I have pressure when depressing it but no engagement of the system.

Noob question but how would I adjust the clutch? Is just a matter of turning the nut that's on the back of the pedal?

Look in the stickies section.

Amazing to me but Billman's clutch thread is not stickies. Can someone post a link to Billman's zero clearance couch adjustment procedure ? Gotta head out and don't want to leave the OP hanging....

Thanks,

P.S. B-Man's procedure should be stickied Mods

Is your clutch fork clipped in and the ball
Is in the slave properly?

Try driving the car and shift through the gears not using the clutch , this will rule out at least any tranny/synchro issues
