Default Lets Play Whats Wrong With My Car

So here's the deal. Needed a clutch, bought JWT clutch and Flywheel.


Install went fine however the CSC blew during the test drive. Pulled trans again and replaced CSC with new factory one. That blew while bleeding clutch.


Removed transmission again. Installed HD CSC from Zspeed and new HD master from Zspeed.


Now vehicle will not shift into gears. Bled numerous times, tried pedal adjustments. Shifts though all fine with engine off. Pedal feel nice and stiff.


Vehicle is being towed to 9k racing after my Toyota techs and the Nissan guys next door couldn't figure it out.


Who thinks it an adjustment and who thinks I need to pull my trans again.


I should know in about 5 hours from now... lol

You may want to forward this to your techs if they haven't already tried it:

Sometimes it's the smallest things.

Can you be a bit more descriptive with what happened to the CSC? If it actually came apart, and then a new one did also, my guess would be to check that the pressure plate/clutch disc are correct for the car. If their dimensions are incorrect, it could allow too much clearance for the CSC to come apart.

Blowing two CSCs makes me thing the throwout bearing wasn't touching anything when you pressed down on the pedal. That let the piston in the CSC move out too far, and it couldn't return to its normal position after that. Did the clutch pedal feel normal or especially light when you pressed it down?
