clutch problem

[dswalterwi at earthlink.net (Don Walter)]

A quick way is by the play in your pedal.  There should not be much.  

Other wise here is the Bently method:
1. Operate the clutch pedal several times.  Loosen the cable locknut.
2. Raise the clutch release lever by hand until resistance is felt.
3. Adjust freeplay by turning the adjusting disc until the clearance between the adjusting disc and the transaxle housing is 12.0+/-0.3mm (.472+/-0.12in.)
4. Tighten the cable locknut.  Freeplay at the clutch release lever should now be 6.0+/-0.3mm (.236+/-.012in.)  Torque the locknut to 36 to 48in. lb.

> I just replaced my clutch and tranny and now it won't go into gear with
the car running.  With the car off it will go into every gear.  I have to
put the car in first gear then start it.  then it won't go into any other
gear.  when I push in the clutch it will disengage but I can still feel it
engaged a little tiny bit. when its running it won't go into any gear.  I
have to force it in to a gear if it will go and it will grind hard engaging.
Anyone know what the problem may be?
