Clutch Problems For Fd
#1
Well this all started when I installed a different fuel pump that the previous owner gave me. I took it for a spin around the block and of course I would hit fuel cut and make the car shutter. I expected this to happen. Then when I tried to put it in gear again, nothing. I couldn't put it in any gear.
So I push it back home (not cool) and put it on the stands to look into the service port. What I see is astonishing, the pressure plate is half way off the flywheel! So out comes the trans and in goes a new exedy organic clutch. Button everything up and bleed the clutch. Everything feels perfect, I start the car up and try to put it in gear but nothing.
So up come the car again and I ask my friend to disengage the clutch while I look at it through the service port. He disengages, pressure plate moves off the friction disk, but not enough to let it spin freely. I bleed the clutch a little more but it's not that, there are no leaks in the line. Any advice?

there is an adjustment for freeplay of the clutch pedal. there is a rod that goes from the pedal linkage to the clutch master. sometimes the nut comes loose and the rod moves. Try adjusting that rod and see if it helps.
