Hey guys, I'm in the middle of a 2nd gen 3sgte swap. I installed the stage 4 competition clutch with my factory s54 tranny. I'm am not done with the swap yet, but the motor is in. When I push down on the clutch pedal it just drops right to the ground. It won't spring back. Did I do something wrong? WHat can I do to solve this issue? And when I look at the clutch cylinder it doesn't move.

did you drain the fluid at anytime?

no not the brake fluid. I drained oil, gear oil, and coolant. I left the brake fluid and power steering fluid alone.

You sure its still sealed up? like have you checked for leaks?

you hooked up the hydrolic lines, right?
i'd check clutch fluid, then bleed the clutch just like you would brakes.

Everything clutch related is hooked up. So you're telling me to bleed the whole clutch system?

You forgot about the brake fluid for your clutch hydraulic system. Its on the fire wall, next to the brake fluid.

You need to reconnect the hydraulic lines on your trans, refill the system with fluid, and bleed it.

Bleed all of it out?

no! just untill there are no bubbles coming out of the line.

is it possible that the throw out bearing forks came off in the bell housing? i have seen this happen before

first bleed the clutch line at the slave on the tranny.

alright I bled it, but I don't think I did enough. The clutch is soo smushy. Does that mean I still have air bubbles in my clutch line.

its not a funny thing to do. its pretty hard to do. If you still have a smushy pedal then you didnt get the air out. A trick we tried was when you bleed it make sure that if its going to suck back in that its sucking in fluid, not air. Like bleeding break lines. When you open the valve to release air, after the air releases its going to allow air to flow back in, if you rig a line to a clean cup or the bottle itself, when it sucks back in it will only suck back in fluid. this is make it a lot easier and will help you make sure that you are getting all the air out.

What do I need connected to crank the car over? For some reason I go in to turn the key and I get nothing at all. Where do the grounds go? What are the important components needed for sure for a car to crank over?

i think there is a sensor in the Clutch pedal or cable that will not allow it to start usless the clutch is in. When you get Keyless starters they have to remove it. But i for the life of me cant remember whats its called

And how the hell do you extend the throttle cable?

Dude I know that. I just think its the way I hooked up my grounds.

I Had this problem the other day too. Seems like I had no ground wires at all connected to the engine so my starter wasn't getting any connections. I check all your grounds and make sure you have plenty going to the motor, battery and chassis it self.

okay. How many grounds do we have? I know 2 coming from the tranny. How many from the wiring harness?

What about the throttle cable?

at this point i probably not being very helpful, but it would seem to me that if you have a sluggish pedal, its not because you grounds arnt connected right

ok. i was kinda looking around in the User guide that Griff handed out some time ago and i found an PDF file about System Wiring Diagram. It has something about the Tranny wiring in it and it looks like it has the ground information in it, but i cant make heads or tales of it.
