Hi everyone,

I replaced my clutch and flywheel with JWT as well as the master and a heavy duty slave November 2014. It drove fine since then but now my car won't go into gear. It started with reverse being progressively harder to get into gear and now car won't go into any gear while it is running. I've checked the shifter plate as well as the shifter linkage and it was fine... Anyone have any idea what would be the cause of this? Thank you.

 

Several things can cause that issue. It could be a faulty master or slave. It could be a broken finger on the pressure plate or it could be a broken spring on the disk itself. I've experienced all of the above. The one with the broken pressure plate was not my car, but didn't feel much different than the busted disk.

 

Like stealthee said it could be a number of different things. Best thing to do is get to a shop and see what they say. I really hope it isn't anything major.

Keep us posted on what it ends up being when you find out and best of luck with it all.

 

To the OP, you need to provide more details.

How does the pedal feel? Is pedal firmness the same as it was 2 years ago? Pedal should attain firmness after being depressed about an inch or less.

What is the condition of the fluid in the reservoir? When was the last time it was bled?

Are you able to go into gear with the car off/clutch depressed?

Any new unusual noises?

Have you messed with the clutch pedal?

Have you tried readjusting the MC pushrod so you get more stroke on the MC?

Have you checked the neutral interlock is not preventing full pedal stroke?

Lots of things to check before you bring the car into a shop unless you're not mechanically inclined and the above doesn't make sense to you.

 

I too have the jwt clutch and heavy duty slave and a new master . I put maybe 6k miles on it. I really hope this doesn't happen to me

 

Thanks for all your help guys. I will bring it to a shop and will report back my findings after they do a teardown.

Edit: I have a RJM clutch pedal but my pedal feel is completely normal and not sticking or anything.

 

I had a similar problem and had to replace the shifter assembly on my 08 g37s they had to tear it apart to find out if it was damaged and it ended up being that so I had it changed out. My symptoms were it felt soft and hard to put in 5th gear while accelerating and some other gears especially 4th

 

So apparently the shop who installed my clutch previously didn't adjust my master cylinder pushrod correctly so it wasn't getting full pedal stroke. Jsolo was right on the dot. The new shop adjusted that amongst other things and my car is now back in business. The mechanic said that the JWT clutch is sensitive and must be adjusted a certain way. Thanks guys!

 

I had the same issue, Aamco installed my JWT clutch and I drove down the street and the clutch got stuck so they had to do some adjusting for it to work, glad it worked out
