Clutch problems need help please?!?!?!

96BARU · 12-22-2011, 12:22 PM

ok here it goes. I have an 02 wrx with a 2.5 block 5 spd trans wuth an ra gearset. i put in an act extreme with a sprung six puck. installing all went well but the car willnot go in gear at all!!! i have tried bleeding the clutch it was fine and the master and slave are good as well and also tried adusting it on the pedal as well i called act and they said i need to use a flywheel from an 03 and up and that could be the problem. and suggestions?

When someone pushes clutch in can you see the slave cylinder push the clutch fork? Start there...

96BARU · 12-22-2011, 12:27 PM

Yes it does move

When I did my clutch I put the throwout bearing on the clutch fork, then mated the tranny to the engine. I had to press the clutch a few times to get the TB to seat right into the pressure plate because the clutch would just stick to the floor. How did you assemble yours?

That's not how you lock in the TOB. You have to take the slave off and push the top of the fork towards the firewall to lock it in.

Yes same way it is seated fine that's the werid thing I called act and they said I need to use an 03 flywheel. Idk tho thought they were the same as the 02.

lavid2002 · 12-22-2011, 06:18 PM

I dont know the flywheels to tell you whether they are the same or different.

Look up the flywheels

lavid2002 · 12-22-2011, 06:21 PM

All of the flywheels I see say 2002-2005, I think they are the same

Are you sure you put the flywheel together properly? Was any part confusing to you? Have you done one before? Any other tranny work while it was out?

When you try to put it into gear does it crunch and clank or does it just feel like you're hitting a wall?

Edit" Read your second post about this, I think its pretty obvious that you have a problem where the pressure plate isn't letting off the clutch so the power to the transmission is releived and you can put your car in gear. Your TOB isn't installed properly, the system was bled wrong, or your clutch isn't adjusted properly. I am guessing its the first one.

Try rolling the car back and forth.

I second rolling it back and forth. Or try forcing it into gear with the engine in idle.

The stock 02 flywheel is diff then the 03 and up

96BARU · 12-23-2011, 02:31 PM

Apparently act didn't inform anyone that u must use a 03 and up flywheel. And that goes for the hd and the extreme. I had the hd in it before and went thru two disks in the last 3 years and it's all because the flywheel in pissed all that labor and parts are now down the drained

96BARU · 12-23-2011, 02:34 PM

Just put the 03 flywheel in and all is good not one prob

BugEyeBetty · 12-23-2011, 02:41 PM

I just replaced my clutch in a 02. with the same problem.. that and my pedal felt like a switch with no pressure.. we had to drop the tranny again after messing with the master and slave cylinders. The throw out bearing was not seated right in the pressure plate.. In the older transmissions its not as easy to seat the throw out bearing. we seated it right and all is well now.
