My engine is out right now...has been for a while. Anyway I put a stainless clutch line on. So I am ready to put my engine back in now. But I looked at the clutch realese fork before I did anything and I noticed the push rod was pushed out past the clutch release fork. When I tried to push it back into place it wouldn't budge. I took the release cylinder out and what not to try to get it back in place, but it wouldn't go. so what i did was get the release cyliner as close to the bell housing as possible and got long bolts which pulled it together. So I got it back together with the push rod behind the release fork. But now I can not get the release fork to move like it normally does. It feels like the clutch release cylinder is stuck or something....any ideas? I could really use some help on this one, im stumped.

did you bleed the clutch yet?

I tried to, but I don't think that would make it not be able to move backwards into itself. when I push the clutch it kind of pulls itself to the floor. I don't think you can bleed it untill the engine is back in to give resistance.

Did you put the spring back on right?

can you put it in wrong?? How much does a new release cylinder cost?

Dont know about the cylinder. Yes you could put the fork spring on wrong. Their is a diagram in the WSM showing the correct way.

yeah, I have it on that way....I didn't take it out untill it was already screwed up. I might just take the damn thing out and see what I can come up with.....it's just a PITA to get to.

a new release cylinder is around $60 from malloy. just got a new one cuz my clutch was going crazy!
