1986 no clutch
Hello everyone, I finally got the VATS figured out and got the car running. Now when I crank it up in neutral it wont go into any gear (reverse grinds). If I cut the car off I can go through the gears fine. I tried running it with the rear wheels off the ground. It wont even come out of first gear. I installed a new clutch assy, new clutch master cylinder and new slave cylinder. The clutch pedal releases right off the floor.
I tried bleeding it several times,seems to have no air in the system. I received lots of good help with the VATS hopefully yall can work the magic on the clutch.
Thanks

If you've gotten out all you can, there's one more thing you can do. Engine off, clutch master cylinder up to the proper level and cap off. Pump the clutch quickly 10 or 12 times, the last time hold the clutch to the floor for about 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes, slide your foot off the clutch and let it pop up on it's own. If it works as it should, remaining air in the line will be pushed back into the master cylinder. You may have to do it more than once but that depends on how much residual air you have in the system.
