Car won't go into gear when running?

So car was working fine when I parked it all gears worked fine, parked it for about a month, tried to drive it today and none of the gears will go in unless you push real hard and when you do they grind... Also when you push down the clutch all the way it takes like 10 seconds to go back up... So Im guessing the clutch is not being released so I checked the clutch reservoir and it was empty and there was a tiny leak from the hose which connects to where the clutch is. So I topped up the clutch fluid and it still doesnt work. Could anyone tell me how to fix this I will greatly appreciate it

You need to replace the hose with the hole in it and then bleed the clutch and all will be well. Google how to bleed clutch for instructions.

Yeah I got a decent guide on how to bleed it. Ok thanks alot mate I will come back if it still doenst work

Is this the hose I pull off to bleed the clutch?  15271245_1526991027314830_1842666427_o.jpg?oh=9862daeb05aefcad057d6acafa1bf8a1&oe=584005CE

If that is the one with the hole in it, you need to change it with a new or 2nd hand good one. You then bleed it from the nipple above the hose in your pic.

So i replaced that hose but Im having trouble finding a clutch bleed tutorial for the r32.

Currently im using this method : 

So do i follow that method using the nipple you told me?

Here is the tutorial for bleeding the slave cylinder.

 

Also what I did was pulled the slave off the trans. cracked the bleeder and pushed the plunger all the way in, hold all the way in and then close bleeder and plunger will slowly return back...did that a couple times and never had an issue since.

I have a question, so in the guide it says "the bleed must be done at every hose connection" so where are the other connections other than the the nipple on the cylinder?

Also does anyone know where to buy that hose I pulled off? Went to two repcos and an enzed and they all didnt have it

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
