New clutch…won’t go into gear

[Socal Stangman]

So I did a new clutch on my 2015 GT. I went to start it up today and now I have an issue, when it’s running, it won’t go into gear. It’s weird when I try to start it in gear, it’s like the clutch isn’t even doing anything, the car will lurch like I’m not even holding down the clutch. The clutch it a Exedy Stage 4 dual disc if that matters, any idea what I did wrong?

BTW, the clutch pedal feels like it has enough pressure so I’m not sure that’s the problem. I pumped it a lot . I know this will be the first thing people will say…

I mean, possible, but I don’t think so. Damn I’m going to have to drop this trans again..ugh. Thanks

Have to be honest, don’t think think this is the issue. Maybe I was hoping someone had the “magic answer “ for me, but sadly I think I’ll need to drop the trans again. I was hoping to avoid this but guess not…sucks.

Do you have the proper amount of oil in the transmission? Would that cause your issue? Idk

Yeah fluids good. Did a drain and refill on some fresh fluid.

If it shifts fine when no engine running, definitely a clutch problem. Whether it is the hydraulics or the clutch itself or both, you will find out. I would try anything before pulling the trans again.

New slave cylinder? Bench bleed the slave before hand? Proper torque specs on the pressure plate/floater? Discs in the correct orientation? Did you have the alignment tool properly installed during torquing procedure? the Plastic ones tend to droop a bit and can cause disc mis-alignment.

Have you reached out to Exedy ?

If the clutch is bleed properly and the slave is good then it's a clutch issue. Maybe you installed something in the wrong place or the clearances between the discs and floater plate are incorrect.

Well, I tried everything. I did replace everything, slave cylinder as well. I did bench bleed it also. It didn’t appear to be a hydraulic issue. I pumped the pedal a bunch over several days and it didn’t help. Tonight I had to drop the trans. I’m don’t see anything obvious. I don’t think the plates are installed backwards because some of it came assembled already so I didn’t have to mess with it, only the disc by the flywheel. I did torque everything properly, at least according to what I could find online. I reached out to Exedy many times and I couldn’t get any response from them. I sent 5 or 6 emails asking them about this clutch (I bought I open box from a guy on CL) and never a response. I called and was waiting for a return call and it never happened….fuck Exedy. I paid 300.00 for the clutch and flywheel, I’m trashing it and counting my losses and moving on. I’m ordering a different clutch…

Did you seat your pressure plate evenly? If not, your car will struggle to go into gear.


This is the result of a pressure plate installed unevenly.
