hey all! i just replaced my hydrolocked 3vz for another one with less miles but after i got everything bolted back together the clutch doesnt fully engage so its extremely hard to shift, and damn near impossible to put in reverse. i already adjusted the pedal as far as it would go and bled the clutch once and it helped a little but it still does not fully engage

 

any thoughts of a possible problem/solution?

 

new master and slave cylinder?

its a pretty basic system, it only has master cylinder, reservoir, metal lines, and slave cylinder. if one has a leak or worn seals they all don't work right. if one cylinder goes bad, the other will most likely go bad within a few months of replacing the worn one.

also, they are cheap, 10-15 each.

 

that may be a good solution, just perplexed cuz everything worked fine before i pulled the engine but it sat for about 2 months before the new powerplant so ill try that, thanks!

 

If it's that hard to push, something is binding. Are you sure you got the clutch aligned properly?
