NEW Clutch not Engaging...Money Pit

Spaghetti999 · 08-14-2024, 09:05 AM

UPDATE: I removed the trans and installed the new clutch kit myself but could not get the trans/engine mated together, gave up after 8 hours. My mechanic just put everything back for me, CMAK Delete kit, OEM CMC etc. Fresh fluids, clutch/trans

one thing...car drives great, already $7000 sunk into this. Nightmare is...i felt clutch pedal vibrations randomly already when shifting around 3k-4k rpms...I am worried. It's the same problem from the previous install/failed kit. I contacted JWT when my previous kit and csc failed after only 4k miles and he said this ..."there is an air gap between that sleeve and the disc's hub. So the piston on the CSC was pushed so far forward that it broke the clip off and pushed it onto the disc's hub.* At that point the piston and bearing are no longer contained on the body of the CSC and the hydraulic*seals no longer work.Over travel issues can be caused by problems with the master cylinder*and or the adjustment of the clutch pedal's travel and free play."

Can someone translate this to a noob? Did my previous fresh setup fail because of lack of adjustment to the master cylinder and clutch pedal. Am I now experiencing the same issues and will require adjustment?
