I have installed a new clutch, new master cylinder, and new slave cylinder and bleed all air out of system and still can’t get the clutch engaged enough to shift. :cry:

welcome to my world lol, only it will be easier for you to fix than me. i have the same prob. the little ball the clutch fork pivits on needs to be screwed out just a bit to give it more leverage

I did not know pivot ball could be adjusted, I was thinking that maybe the clutch arm was bent. Well it looks like I'll be dropping my transmission in
the near future. Does anybody know if the pivot ball can be replaced?

I would bleed the system one more time just to be sure. It can be a big pain to get all the air out. It would also give you a chance to watch the slave cylinder and make sure it is moving correctly. I'm not sure of exactly what the stroke length is supposed to be, but it should be a noticable amount. If it just moves a tad and stops it is probably still air in the system or something binding up inside on the clutch.

I recall hearing from one person who had put the throw out bearing in backwards and could not get the clutch to release. When you get things apart double check the assembly and make sure its all on the way it is supposed to be. Sometimes it is really easy to put something in the wrong way, I know I've done it more than a few times.

It has been years since I did a LUV clutch, but it seems like if it was working before then the pivot ball shouldn't need to be adjusted all that much.
