clutch not engaging on s14 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

But does the fork move back even farther than it will when the slave retracts? You need to make sure you can push the fork back even further, to the point where you are pushing the slave cylinder back in. If its stuck it will still move back to the point that the slave retracts but it still continues to have pressure on the pressure plate. I've seen this a lot lately on SR's. Its happened to me before and I would say almost 95% of the time an issue like this happens on an SR it turns out to be this problem.

If its not that then I would say the pressure plate is probably worn out.

I was having the same problem, so what I did was:
Replace clutch master
Replace Slave
Bypass Damper
BLEED it REALLY GOOD.

But in your case you say the slave is pushing the plate and releasing fine, so make sure it is being pushed all the way back when you put your foot on the clutch and that it releases smooooothly when you take the foot off the pedal, you will need someone to press/release the clutch for you. You can try putting your car in gear, lets say 2nd, and try to push your car (without the clutch pedal being pressed) if your car moves then you have a clutch that's fully relased and not engaging. So next part is take your tranny out and fix it.

Good Luck!

1 its not a SR and 2 its a brand new slave cylinder, its not getting stuck.
