Clutch

[barbis137]

I just installed a new clutch and its still not drivable, there is a terrible squeak when i let off the clutch and its almost impossible to shift gears.
maybe someone can tell me what I should be looking for? it would be greatly appreciated!!

What clutch kit did you install?

A couple of things to check:
Pull up on the clutch pedal. It will remove any slack from the clutch cable.
If that doesn't help check to see if the cable is binding anywhere.

its called Power Torque, i bought it at o'reilly's. il check that out, also does it make a difference that the new clutch is bigger than the other one?

Bigger how? Diameter of the clutch disc? Thickness?

I would verify that they gave you the correct kit.

it's 11" not 10.5", i dont know if
that's enough to
make a difference?
today it was shifting ok from 2nd to 5th but after a little while it was grinding again

How did the condition of the flywheel, clutch fork, pivot stud and throw out bearing look?

Did you use any grease?

everything was fine, originally i was changing the throwout bearing, but the pressure plate was worn so i got the kit, when the car is off it shifts fine, im changing the clutch cable today
