Clutch Problem...HELP!!!

I just got my exedy clutch/fandanza flywheel installed last weekend and got into some trouble. When i press in the clutch pedal the pedal wouldn't release (its stuck). This shit scares me because I'm stuck in gear and have to release the clutch by using my feet to lift the pedal back out. Anyone know what may cause this? I think its the clutch slave cylinder...

A lot of manual drivers have problems with their slave cylinder. Check it for leaks or cracks. Especially if that's what you suspect, and it's a cheap easy fix.

probably your master cylinder but while your at it you might as well get a rebuild kit for your slave cylinder

The master is a little trickier to replace but it is not that bad. Enjoy the new clutch/flywheel I know I do.

have someone help you. open fluid canister open. bleed the fluid thru the slave cylinder. put fluid in canister. bleed again. do this 3 or 4 times. if your clutch feels kinda slugish at first just drive it it will get better. have fun
