I had this same issue a few years back.

I drained the clutch fluid, refilled and pumped the clutch by hand till I got resistance. Haven't had a problem since.

Bled my clutch last night and I still can't get it in gear. Could it be a messed up clutch disc? I'm thinking that the spinning chatter I heard the other day might be the disc against the pressure plate. It's a Stage 2 Competition Clutch btw.

did you try driving it? it takes a lot of pumping to get back up while making sure you don't suck air

Can't drive it, I can't get it in gear. I bled it the way billman described.

This thread is still new enough that I will piggyback off of it. A few days ago everything was fine. I stopped to get a drink and when I came out I noticed it was very hard to get into reverse, but it was still doable. Drove home just fine, and when I got to my house reverse was a little bit easier to engage.

Today I go and the car will not go into any gear. I tried revving it up and putting into gear but still no luck. So I tried rapidly pumping clutch but that didn't work. My clutch fluid level in the reservoir is good and the fluid is also clean. The clutch feels very soft and like it isn't really engaging.

Does this sound like air bubbles in the clutch fluid to you guys?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

In my case, the fluid was full and clean. I just tried pumping the clutch rapidly, and I am now able to put the car in every gear like normal. I'm assuming there was an air bubble in my fluid and I got lucky and got rid of it from pumping the clutch.

One concern I have, if this happened once, does this mean I have a good chance of this being a reoccurring problem?
