My car wont go into gears, i have to turn the car off to put it in to first. and when its in first with clutch IN, the cars slowly still wants to move forward.

Does this mean the clutch is gone? Slave cylender is gone? i have plenty of fluid. What do ya guys/gals think?

thanks for the inputs.

Probably your slave cylinder. Go under the car and have someone pump the clutch and see if the pin moves. Could also be your master cylinder. Does your pedal have pressure? Most likey slave tho. good luck.

Could be worn out slave or master cylinder, air in the lines, bent clutch fork, or misadjusted clutch pedal.

Bent clutch fork seems most likely. If you haven't removed your clutch dampener tube it could be causing you problems.

First thing I'd do is flush/bleed the hydraulics.

thanks for the replys, it all started after i threw a big miss shift at big willow this weeks end. im worried its the clutch, no money to replace one right now : ( and yes the clutch has pressure.

A misshift could have caused damage to the clutch. A spring could have broken free or a piece of friction material could have come loose.

go under the car and have someone pump the clutch to bleed it out and get all the air out of the system. also check for rips in that shitty rubber hose that Nissan made that goes to the slave cylinder. after you completed the bleeding check the pedal feel and see if the pin on the slave moves the tranny fork.if it does and all looks good their check the hardline for any kinks. hardline goes from the CMC to the box T fitting then to the rubber hose to the slave. if you bleed the clutch it should be fine. let us know what happens when u bleed the slave and when doing so dont let the fluid go below half GL.

Your clutch is not disengaging. The throw out bearing holder could have come off its place(it just happened to me, I had the same prob) which is not letting the cletch fork work properly. Have someone press the clutch while you look at the slave to see if it is extending all the way or not.

Go from there, my 2cents.

Broken fork pivot, bent fork, broken front cover, or dead cylinder.
