Sounds like you may need to firstly bleed your clutch (Altho if it isn't bled that should make it engage easier) .... you also may need to adjust your clutch pedal (as per the specs in chilton)

I pulled the motor because the bolt on the sub frame broke and were welded<P>It's nice to see the clutch when you install<BR>it <P>I had the machine shop deck down the flywheel mounting surface of the pressure plate to give more force on the disc :)

yea i bled it an changed the pilot an throw out bearing .. i think i need to bleed it more not sure bled it 5 times .... i was aslo told that theres no adjustment by the pedal due to its hydrolic .. didnt think of getting a clutc for the 2.5 not a bad idea .. thanks. the joint from the ruber hose to the metal ling for the cluch was leaking but now i get a drop like every5 hrs .. could that be causeing it .. thank everyone for the advise
