Sounds like you have no connection between the foot pedal and the clutch on the gearbox.

Did you get the air out or was there a problem?? The pedal should be reasonably hard to press and you will see the arm on the gearbox moving.

Check the filling tube connecting the clutch master to the brake fluid reservoir is not full of rubbish. Make sure the filling hole on the clutch master is still open. Are you confidant you got a new clutch master? The entrance to the cylinder is quite small and can get blocked with bits of rubber.

On my car I had a blockage but I was able to drive by filling the clutch master from the slave end. You can suck the fluid up by working the clutch pedal and opening and closing the slave bleed nipple so you are slowly getting air out and only letting fluid in.

to be noticed i removed the arm from its original position when i was installing the cylinders ,
perhaps it has something to do about it
 
Do you have fluid pumped out through the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder..??

if so - I would try to use a pressure (of air) to push the fluid through the system,

had this problem before..:eek:

how to do that if i may ask my dear
 
yes i did and i returned the arm to its place still no luck

The arm should be moving as shown in this video of my car. I think your arm is probably in the correct place, when I replaced my clutch I was confidant the arm can only be positioned in one place.

One thing to note is when I put the slave on the gearbox it is a very tight fit against the arm. One bolt goes in easily but the other requires a considerable effort to line up the remaining hole.

My car bled easily but people often talk about using a pressure bleeder for some reason to do these cars.

IF you cannot get fluid to pass through the system to the slave cylinder,
then fitting a sealer cap to the clutch fluid reservoir - with a Schrader valve (tyre valve) in it,
around 2.5 Bar should be enough, then open the bleed nipple, and the pressure should dislodge any trapped air from the system

guys ,
after changing the clutch kit i have the same issue -no or hard shifting-
there is something i need to be sure about ,
the connecting cable between the master and slave cylinders was broken while changing the clutch cylinders and i replaced it with a custom made tube -i did it- i got a tube and i inserted the old pipe heads at both ends but its not the same tall .
does that would cause any trouble - the length of the pipe i mean .
please help me guys i'm so concerned right now .
thanks

If the new tube is not reinforced to prevent pressure causing the tube to balloon that could be the problem. If the tube expands less fluid will go to the slave. Did you use a specialised tube built for brake systems?

The exact length of the tube makes no difference if the tube is not expanding. It would have to be many meters long for it to cause a problem if the tube is unable to expand.

But I did that video for you............Do you get the same amount of slave movement as I was getting?

thank you for answering me ,
no i don't get the same amount of movement its less actually ,
not only that i did not reinforced the heads and its a usual tube not a brake system one ,
i'll try to tighten the heads and see what happens ,
if not i'll replace it with a factory made one and see ,
thanks for advicing
 
its was the pipe indeed
i couldn't find a new pipe so i made one with the old heads ,
the clutch worked perfectly and easy shifting .
now i have a new issue ,
the head slotted in the slave cylinder keeps escaping out of the cylinder ,
i put the holding clip in its place but it still escapes ,
any ideas how to hold the pipe in ,
thanks

On my slave the pipe has two positions. Slightly out by about 2mm is for bleeding. Is the pipe fully pushed in? You should be able to see the slot in the pipe appear when the clip is in the correct position.
 
i removed the rubber ring on the head and i inserted it and put on the clip ,
i think it does the job for now .
i'm on the try if that's worked out for the long term now .
thanks guys so much ,

the nip just needed to be pushed firmly inside the cylinder in order not to slip ,
thanks for help
