hi guys i have a 5sfte celica i had to replace my clutch out due to the more power from the turbo so i get the car done a start it up and it wont go into gear when first staring and when it does i let off the brake and the car pulls like the clutch isnt fully disengaging i tried bleeding the slave cylinder thinking air was in the system but still has the problem.
i have installed
f1 racing clutch stage 2
fidanza lightweight flywheel
new throwout bearing
bleed slave cylinder
put 40w gear oil in transmission
adjusted clutch pedal free play

I had this problem also.
i made a silver steel slave cylinder push rod, got a braided clutch line, and reco'd the slave and master cylinders.

but im of the opinion the thing that fixed it for me is the pivot ball.
with gtfours (and im assuming 5s too) the clutch fork is cast, and the pivot ball is steel, now over time these 2 wear and effectivly the pivot point moves further from the clutch plate, this gives you less travel.

unfortunatly it means pulling the gearbox off (and in the case of gtfours engine out) and put a 1mm shim under the pivot ball, and i got a new clutch fork, a better way would have been to get a new OE pivot ball but i didnt have the few week waiting time to get one ex japan so i used a shim and cleaned it up.
