I got the car back from the dealer and i started the car and tried to put it in first but it wouldnt go in. it was like i was locked out. i talked to the service manager and he said to pump the clutch and drive it for 2 days and it would get better. so i drove it home. i then realized that it wouldnt go into reverse either. and also when engaged in first the car creeps forward. Can someone please fill me in on what has happened here? what possibly went wrong and if its fixable??:shrug03:

you have been screwed. the service manager does'nt know shit from shineola. take the car back and tell them to put a real mech on the job. someone who has installed a clutch before. there are some guys here who will know what your problem is. good luck..

Sounds as though the clutch is not disengaging. High heat grease on the input shaft should have been applied. If the clutch pedal is mushy then it was not blead properly. A vacum pump needs to be used on the Master to properly bleed these clutches. The procedure is in the shop manual. Sounds as though the tech is a hack.
