Clutch Install Problems

[pilotstephen]

I just had a clutch replaced in my '91 with a stock dual disc setup, but the shop that did the install is having problems getting into gear with the engine off. I recall that I had this same problem the last time I had the clutch replaced and I dont recall what the solution was. Aside from bleeding from the clutch hydraulic line and checking the clutch master/slave, are there any other common things that can be checked. I also read in the factory manual about a "Clutch midplate initialization procedure" Is this always done with a new dual disc clutch?

yes,

the clutch initialization procedure must be done, per the manual....

definatly try it... ill bet 90% thats it without seeing the car in person.

did you take it to a shop that has installed NSX clutches before?

I'm with Mike, sounds like they did not initialize it.

Does the transmission need to be out of the car in order to do the initialization?
