Hi folks,
i have a problem with my 98 4.5 cerbera. starting the engine, i can't put the gears in.
mls are now around 30000, clutch and slave cylinder were rebuild/replaced at 21000 mls, clutch fluid was changed yesterday but still the clutch does not separate and i am unable to put the gears in.
any ideas?

best regards

Make sure that you have bled the clutch properly,then check the adjustment of the clutch pedal travel.This is done inside the car,there is an adjustable nut on a threaded rod behind the clutch pedal,try adjusting this to give you more travel on the clutch pedal.

And after you think you have bled out all the air do it again a couple of times because you probably haven't. I had to put a fair bit of fluid through mine after letting the level drop too low and filling it with bubbles. For while I was convinced that the clutch was stuffed but after another dozen pumps and a couple more top ups it all worked fine and has done for a few thousand miles so far.
