    Default trouble shifting

    ok i have replaced just about everything for my tranny, i have new slave and master cylinders and just filled the fluid, has new seals, and a new input shaft bearing and main bearing, also new throw out bearing and pilot bearing.

    with that being said... when the car is sitting still or off the tranny falls into gear but if im rolling the tranny fights me to go in or out of gear, my clutch looked good when i had it off still plenty thick.

    im thinking maybe pressure plate? but how do you know if they are bad?

    input please and thanks!

    Is the clutch adjusted properly? That could cause ur problem, if miss adjusted the clutch might not be dissengaging all the way causing the drag

    hydraulic clutch is self adjusting...

    i'm thinking you need to bleed that slave some more... it takes quite a bit to get all the air out.
    You're right - I have no idea what I'm talking about...

    U sure about that, we have adjusted the clutch pedal on our track car several times to try and fix a problem like this.? I'm pretty sure free play at the pedal is not self adjusting.

    highly doubt it. excessive free play will cause clutch drag

    Well my problem is more that it won't engage properly if it wouldn't disengage wouldn't I sit there just revving instead of moving? Once I can get the shifter to move and it goes in gear it's fine it's getting the shifter to let it go in gear
