HELP 90 gxl wont go into gear when running

[DJTenuto]

the car was fine and driven for a little and then it wouldnt go into gear when the engine was running? any advice?

[Mr.Molasses]

what happens when you try to put in into gear? does it grind or does the stick go all the way to where 1st should be and nothing happens?

[Soyo]

does the clutch pedal swing or come up really slow or stay down? if so you might just need some fluid

If you can shift it freely while the car is off, my money would be on the pilot bearing. I had that exact problem with a 90 GXL I sold. $8 later (and 4 hours later) the tranny shifted perfectly.

at one point it was stuck down. when i pumped the clutch it was able to b shifted. i checked the fliud level and its above max i thought it may just need to b bleeded. someone told me i may need a new slave cylinder

[DJTenuto]

the shiftknob wouldnt go outa neutral

[GringoEJS]

Well...if the pedal went down and you had to pump it, have someone sit in the car and depress the clutch and watch under the hood for the range it is getting. Probably is your slave cylinder. Try bleeding it first...maybe air is in the line.

[ShortyDTP]

look and see if the slave cilinder send pressure to the fork and moves it.

and try bleeding it as posted above.

That really sounds like the slave cylinder. If bleeding doesnt work than thats what my bet is.
