My z wont go into gear. I push the clutch in and I cant put in reverse through first. If I turn the car off and put it in gear its goes.

My google search led me to believe the slave cylinder is going out.
What are your opinons

what year is car, miles, any mods.... etc. have you ever changed the fluid... help us help you

It is a 2003 with 102xxx miles.
No engine mods. Bolt ons are headers, exhaust, intake.

Clutch is an act stage 2 from what the last owner said. Sounds like the throw out bearing is bad because it rattles when the clutch is not pressed. Press it and the noise stops.
No i have not changed the fluid.

It actually started going into gear again normal as of today but would like to sort this out so it wont happen again.

Thanks for your input

Sounds like a fluid change should be your first priority. If it wasn't working, and now it is, maybe the fluid is old and watery.

the flywheel chatter is normal with lightweight flywheels, and is exactly as you describe. if he went with a stage 2 clutch, i would bet that he changed the TOB. do you know what the miles were when he did that?


this, fluid is cheap. couple hours and bribe a buddy with beer to help you bleed it. if that doesn't work, i would change the master and slave, then if problem persists, that is when i would drop the trans

It will probably happen again, so don't let it linger.

Can try bleeding it but usually if this problem pops up out of nowhere its usually the slave, and or master. Definitely a possibility it is just the slave, and if you see signs of fluid leakage then it needs to be replaced either way.
