Clutch Issues

[sly32]

hey,

so ive had a few issues with my car putting in a new engine and then a r33 gearbox into my r32, but i decided to do everything while the engine gearbox was out,

So ive put a new 5 puk clutch in, new release bearing, strong nismo release fork pivot, machined flywheel, (just the stuff that might aswell be done while everything is apart)

so i got everything running and then went to drive the car out of the shed, but i cant get it into gear, the clutch isnt disengaging (spelling), i have bled the clutch many times cause at first i thought it was an air bubble maybe, but that was sweet, then i remembered with my mates car i had to weld a 5mm thick plate onto the fork and drill a little groove for the slave to push against (so this means im pretty much making the slave cylinder about 5-10mm longer but cant be certain of actual length) so i decided to do that with mine because hey if it ends up not releasing the clutch at least i can adjust the clutch from the pedal, but this didnt work either,

The bar that joins to the clutch pedal (which is used for an easy adjust) is all the way out already so i cant pull it out any further and that means i cant disengage the clutch,

Hope this make sense,

But if any1 has any ideas on how to get ym clutch to work please say so,

What i was thinking is to adjust the clutch all the way in (the bar) so there isnt going to be much pressure on the slave, and bleed it that way (by this im hoping more clutch fluid will get pulled into the master) and that means when i pull the bar right out again it will be putting more pressure onto the slave as theres more fluid in there? make sense?

Anyways let me know, im stuck for idea's

Thanks JV

Could the release bearing carrier be too short?

I had a similar problem with a different clutch (the car is r33): The tube, that the release sleeve carrier glides on, pushed the clutch blade all the time. This did not allow the clutch to release. I had to cut about 5mm off the tube for clearance.

mmmm but in a way isnt that oppisite to what i have? like from what i can tell youve said that your clutch wouldnt release meaning it was on 24/7, in that case i can understand cutting a little bit off the sleeve would help, but because mine is the opposite i dno, i hope this works what im about to try cause there shouldnt be any reason why this isnt working, o well, will soon find out,
