hi everypeeps. fitted DMF, clutch plate and pressure plate and slave cylinder, but wont go into any gear with engine running, bled clutch manually, pumping pedal...... help pleeease

Sounds like it could be a dodgy release bearing/slave cylinder. Could it be leaking when the pedal is pressed? Have you got all the air out of the system?

Ball ache dude. Is it the correct clutch? Are there any differences in early and late models, 2.0 2.2?

you will most likely need to pressure bleed it i have always had bother trying to bleed these manually

GVK.

What I do is let the fluid drip out, then close the bleeder, pump pedal 10-15 times with bleeder closed, then hold pedal down. Open bleeder with pedal down. Shit loads of air comes out.

On the first few pumps the pedal may stick down, needs pulling back up.

Repeat. Might need to do it 2-3 times.

Some cases have needed a pressure bleed tho.

Certainly sounds like air in the system.

turned out it was a fookin knackered pressure plate (brand new out the box) who'd 'o thunk it...... all done now.... but needs lining up on subframe, feels like ive got eggs for wheels

Have the inner CV joints fallen apart?
