I got my engine running finally, turbo and all. First time I heard it run in 2 years.

Well, I went to shift it into first, and it just doesnt want to go into gear.

I adjusted the clutch cable and its nice and tight, almost no play in the cable at all at this point.

I had a buddy sit in the car and push the clutch in while I was adjusting, so I could watch the fork.

The fork is moving fine with the pedal, and the pedal is nice and tight.

This leads me to believe there is an issue with the pressure plate/bearing....(something internal)....which I had installed....(king cobra clutch, new flywheel, new pilot bearing)....

I'm stumped, I called a local shop and he doesnt know what to tell me about it all.

Before I tear back into what I thought was a finished project, anyone have any other ideas?

Or just pull the bellhousing/tranny now?

Thanks for any advice..

Andrew

Just pull it, easy to overlook something while you are frustrated
