if the master is actually moving the slave and the clutch is actually being disengaged, it is your linkage

bleed it again make sure you dont have air in the system if tha doesnt work check the clutch pedal for correct clearence

Do you have pedal pressure?

*brndck* · 12-10-2010, 04:47 PM

would it go into gear BEFORE you replaced the master and slave?
to me it sounds like its not bled out fully and isn't disengaging when you press the pedal down.

probably need a new clutch.

two of my friends had the same exact problem. they pulled out their clutch and the spring on the clutch came out.

try and bleed it again, if all else fails, check your clutch.

Hey.. i bled it twice replacing both cylinders.. clutch has plenty of spring in it.. doesnt feel different at all from before whatever broke..

Forge_55b · 12-10-2010, 05:15 PM

change out your tranny fluid as well as everything else above

koukisandsomeapplejuice · 12-10-2010, 05:21 PM

damn ill try.. imma put it on a friends lift cos its way to cold to do in the outdoors here in ny and drop the tranny =\.. should have bought a 240

lysticalz · 12-10-2010, 05:46 PM

same thing happened to me last year. pulled the clutch out. seems that one of the springs popped out and was wedged between the clutch and pressure plate.

dont know why, but that's usually what happens.

damn.. im on a budget.. how much did you end up spending?

adamvann3 · 12-14-2010, 09:21 AM

Where did you get your master from. I have read on more than one occasion that autozone, advanced master cylinders have been faulty out of the box and it has taken 3-4 exchanges before a good one is had. Normally has to deal with improper or cracked seals.

240s can have the same issue, mine lost the master 3yrs ago, replaced both, ditched the damper as well.

Was anything else wring with the trans? Weak clutch, chattering throwout bearing? Did you adjust the clutch pedal or linkage at all?

koukisandsomeapplejuice · 01-14-2011, 08:21 PM

well i fixed the problem.. clutch spring popped out and got jammed,.. man z32's are a pain to work on but i just ordered a complete clutch kit and i was good to go.. to bad i was just involved in a hit and run -__- so now i need a new fender, got one coming in tuesday, the money pit never fills!
