Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Northeast Replacing the clutch problems

Okay so here goes it........ I tried my hand at putting in a new clutch, pressure plate, slave cylinder and master cylinder. I got everything back together finally and now I can't get the clutch to dis-engage. Not only will it not dis-engage but the clutch is incredibly stiff. So here lies the problem...... What the heck went wrong??? I lived by my tourque wrench so nothing is over tightened and everything fit back together without to much difficulty. I just don't know what happened.

Not sure...air trapped in the system?

You might want to try posting in the transmission forum for better help, though

That was my first thought also, air in the system.

Definetly post in the trasaxle forums, you'll have an answer in minutes.

Congrats on tackling this project yourself!

Cool, Cool. Thanx for the advice... I'll try the trans form and see what it brings. I'll try to flush the system some more and see what that brings as well... Also thanx for the boost of confidence, I needed that after all the headaches of this project.

Working on a Contour can and will give anyone a headache.

Let us know how it goes.
