So I finished swapping my engine yesterday and the clutch doesnt work. I bled the slave cylinder but it appears to be functioning correctly. I can see the fork and throwout bearing pushing down the clutch fingers so I dont know what could be wrong.
Could I have installed the clutch disc backwards? I am about to pull the transmission to check the clutch unless I can find a stick of dynamite first. |

It's possible the pedal needs adjusting.
I put a LW FW on my Rav when I swapped and the oem flywheel was 2x as thick. When I pushed the clutch the system worked but the disk wasn't making contact with the flywheel. We adjusted the pedal further and I have a fully working clutch. I should have just extended my push rod...I'll do that next week. -------------------- |

ugh you guys and the extended pushrod, it will not help. all it does is push the salve piston deeper in. pushing on the clutch moves the same amount hydro fluid.

Pulled the transmission, flipped the clutch disc and reinstalled in under 5 hours. Now the clutch magically works.
It looks like the taller side was facing towards the flywheel and maybe catching the flywheel bolts. |
