Just bought my first Fiero (88 GT w/ 5sp, I'm assuming Getrag). Drove it all of 42 miles before the clutch started slipping. Went to parts store, got new clutch set (Advance Auto Part No. MU59-1A, yes it's cheap). Pulled transmission, installed clutch, flywheel resurfaced. Now the damn thing won't shift with the engine running. Engine stopped, I can find all 5 gears without too much trouble (1st is a little sticky, but better than when I bought the car and it worked) and I can start in gear with the clutch in and the car doesn't move. Start the engine, can't get it to shift into 1,2, or R (can sometimes grab the upper gears if you fiddle with it) Bled clutch using gravity method (3 or 4 times now), checked banjo (was upside down, corrected), no leaks on either cylinder. There's a guy close by who's a Fiero expert (at least he does 3800SC swaps for a side job), he says the pedal feels soft but distance traveled looks good. We made a longer slave cylinder rod (about 1/4" longer), no change. Also, I realigned the cables at the start of this mess.
My question is, if per chance, I installed the clutch disc off center or backwards, would it cause this problem? Or should I just take it out and see what happens once I start driving (float the gears and such)? I ask because I was using a different type of alignment tool than I usually do, but I feel like I got everything right. Well, I did until I ruled everything else out....
