Hello all,

I have recently fitted a new clutch on my moms ford puma 1.7. as it was slipping.

however i am unable to get gears when engine is running, when engine is off i can get all gears fine, so its definitely the clutch.

it is as if it is not releasing, although i have thouroughly bled the slave cylinder, which is also new. as though not enough force is being applied to the pressure plate.

the clutch fitted the shaft perfectly, and is correctly alligned. i am at a loss as to why the clutch isnt working?? with the cluth fully down and u brake the clutch is dragging, and the engine tries to stalll, there is some pressure as when u pul off the clutch the engine stalls toatally.

just wondered if anyone has come across this. if the was air in the system i cud understand it but there definitely isnt.
