Stage 2 Clutch Install Problem | Car now won’t go into gear.

[acidelijah]

2011 VW GTI MK6 | 6SPD. FBO 132K.

I just installed a ECS Stage 2 performance full clutch kit (indeed came w/ new TOB) & the car is now not going into gear but does go into gear when off.

There’s some chattering that stops when I press in the clutch & try to put it into gear.

I installed everything correctly as per the ECS pdf that was provided.
Bled the clutch & it got pressure.

Next try is using this pressure pump I just bought as maybe there’s a lot of air.

Also when i removed the trans some transmission fluid leaked out so I went to the dealership to pick up 3 qts that I will empty out & fill back today.

Anything helps please.

Did you bleed the throw out bearing before you installed it in the trans? Sounds like no, If you didn't you're going to be there a while. Use the pressure bleeder at 29psi with the master completely topped off. Keep bleeding it until you're swearing at yourself for not bench bleeding it

Should also say don't under any circumstance touch the brake pedal while it's pressurized that much

I hope that this is the case!
Thanks for the insight, I’ll def move forward with bleeding to see if it goes into gear anytime soon!
