Clutch not engaging gears while car is on but when its off its fine

Post by PurpleGPX »

So i had this problem after it came back from the mechanics to try and get it pink slipped and registered but long story short it drove home fine we had the little floods in march and unfortunatly i had to drive through a puddle to stop it from getting completely flooded in my yard, so i dont know if that had anything to do with it either, but after i parked it and when the floods ended and i went to move my car it wouldnt engange in gears when it was on but when it was turned off it goes into gears fine but if you try to turn on the car while having it in any gear even reverse and with your foot fully on the clutch like you normally would trying to start a manual in gear it would still try to jump like your foot isnt on the clutch and then i turned off the car and i had to like seriously try to rip it back into neutral out of the gear it got stuck in and you could hear his terrible noise i dont know what to do i can try take a video and ill post that too if it lets me

Sounds like it needs a fluid flush & bleed from the slave. If it doesn't fix it, replace the slave. Same unit as CE lancer, get it form any auto shop.
