Hi, im a new member. Just bought an '05 srt4, car wont shift into gear when on-only off. I was told to try changing the clutch before assuming the synchros might be bad on the tranny. What do you think is the best replacement clutch for a daily driver?

 

More then likely its the clutch fork itself is worn. This is very common. Start by adjusting the clutch pedal all the way out under the dash, this may get you by for now. Try to bleed the slave cylinder. make sure there is no air. Order an upgraded clutch fork, and throw a clutch in while your there. I plan to run a Sachs OEM clutch, its the same clutch they came with from the factory. If its shifts into gear clean and feels like it engages I would think its okay. But if you put the clutch in and it still doesn't shift then you can pul the guts from the trans without pulling the trans off the car. I am in the same boat as you but I can still shift, just hard. I would look over the master/slave and bleed it along with the adjustment before you go ordering parts. To bleed it you will need to remove the slave by turning it, then pulling out. DO NOT push the clutch pedal while your doing this. Make sure the clutch fluid is full, leave cap off. Then push the slave cylinder rod in my hand while keeping it the lowest part of the system, do this a few times and watch for air.

Also wanted to add the clutch may be fine, maybe not. But the issues your having is related to the clutch not disengaging. So that means the clutch is holding and not burned up. But there may be an issue with the pressure plate or TO bearing. They say stock clutch forks dont last 30k miles, so that is a safe bet its worn out.
