E-153 not completely disengaging, posted this up in engine/trans too Options

[Soulend]

so I swapped in an LSD e153 this past weekend ( a total bitch project so far) and the damned thing wont completely disengage. I was told a GT slave cylinder would be fine to use, so I used that, I also have a GT master cylinder installed so maybe that is the problem? I have the peddle inside the car adjusted so far that the bolt isn't even touching it anymore.

seriously need help I'm sick of all of these problems Ive been having...

I literally just went through this process. Same exact problem, the new clutch would not disengage completely thus I couldn't shift into gear. In my case the stiffer pressure plate simply caused the old seals in my master to finally give out. So after a convoluted process finally I installed a new master cylinder and the problem went away. The key is to vacuum bleed the system; the old fashioned two man approach tears up the seals in a new cylinder too much and you end up where you started. Which is exactly what happened to me . So buy one of these when you install your new master:

There are way cheaper ones than this, just make sure it's a pneumatic bleeder and not one of those where you create vacuum by pumping a handle.
