Me Manual RS6 "Project"

[jolio1994]

Dude what the F*CK.

Got everything connected and lowered the car to take it for its first drive and it wouldn't go into gear with the car on. If I start the car in gear with clutch depressed it moves. All new Spec Stage 3+ Clutch, Pressure Plate, and Throwout Bearing. PP tq'd to 20 ft'lbs with blue loctite as stated by SPEC. Reason I mention that before I bought the clutch kit (As recommended by a few), the PP bolts backing out seemed to happen to a few people. When asking my friend, he said he ran into the same issue of the car not going into gear or disengaging; upon teardown and inspection the PP bolts had indeed came loose on his.

So with that in mind, here we go again... Got the engine pull down to 2h 13m now though. Separating the trans on Sunday so if I come to find that that's the problem, I will be pissed off and out another $1000.

This is turning into a horrendous nightmare.
