hey every one my clutch was just replaced and now it won't go into gear. my friend did it and it has not worked yet. the car goes into gear when the car is off but when the car is on it won't go into gear at all. ne ideas of what this could be from or what was done wrong... the car does start with no noises so i don't see how it could be lined up wrong

He probably didn't re-install the shift fork correctly when he replaced (which he did, right?) the throw-out bearing.

Or he simply didn't line up the slave cylinder correctly when putting it back together.

First one is a pain in the *** because you have to crack the tranny open again to get at it. Second one is much easier because you can get to it without having to move anything.

Check your slave cylinder first to see if its aligned properly and if not, gotta open her back up.

He probably didn't do it on purpose. You've got to reinstall the shift fork by feel if you do the clutch with everything still in the bay (engine and tranny). Its hard to see up in there with your meat hooks in the way to get the fork reinstalled properly.
