2005 megane 225 clutch bleeding woes

With the engine off it goes into all gears no problem. I'll give that a try tomorrow.
I can't see this but surely you can't put driveshafts in wrong?
I was a bit of a puddin, when i had just finished putting everything back together after the clutch install i still had the car front up in the air. I fired it up, accelerated through all the gears, misses says wheels were spinning and getting faster as i was accelerating, plus speedo was increasing, i thought at that point everything was fine! , dropped the car to the ground, couldn't get a gear!

 

Interesting, I tried earlier today starting it in gear to see if it would clear itself but nothing. doing. You would have to see where the car is just now, not practical to try driving it just now, it would need a pain getting it out, or i might not get it back in, long story! Neighbours....

 

I done 'a lot' of reading before fitting the clutch, that's when i stumbled across the video of the guy prefilling the slave.
He simply dipped the end of the slave tube in fluid and slowly depressed the cylinder in and out.
When i done this it neither drew in fluid or spat out bubbles, which i thought was really odd!
The slave was identical to the one i took off.
The reason i changed the clutch was it was slipping on boost, all other times gear selection, general driving was perfect, in fact run around for couple of months with it like that as i needed it and it drove well.
I'll try what you suggested today. I've read so many people fitting so many clutches not getting a gear afterwards, and for the most obscure reasons! Pressure plates being slightly warped before install, clutch friction plate fraction too thick, disc wrong way round was a common one etc.
I'm actually just working part time just now as i have nerve injury in my arm(i'm a motorcycle instructor) and doing all this on my own wasn't easy, and aggravated my arm, but i really wanted to do it and was very methodical in doing it, fitted new driveshaft seals, driveshaft intermediate carrier bearing etc
This is so annoying!

 

I made an inspection hole a while back and the slave is moving towards the pressure plate and compressing the clutch fingers.
It's either clutch plate is jammed somehow, or as a few folk have mention there's air in the system so the slave is stopping short, but i'm sure air is ruled out now.
When i syringed fluid into the slave when it was on the car, it was Renault who suggested that i think,so, i'm bracing myself for taking the box off again i think. Will confirm later today when i test in 2nd gear as suggested with front jacked up.

 

Haven't been near car tonight, too tired! But just read an interesting thing there on a site regarding the slave cylinder.
He said you can bleed till you're blue in the face, if there's air in the slave it won't budge!
He said to hold clutch pedal down, open bleed and then fully compress the slave cylinder to expel air! Which i should be able to do with my neat little inspection hole in the bellhousing, sounds promising before i pull the box!

 

Just had a little look at the pressure plate adjustment springs i set, through my inspection hole, only 'one' is still compressed like i set it??
Someone told me ages ago this was what i would find. I managed to reset the two 'unsprung' ones in-situ.
Didn't make a difference, maybe instead i'll release them all instead just to see where they settle and try that.

 

Right, are you all ready for this?
Called the service dep. of my local Renault dealer.
Tech guy was really helpful, said to send him pics of old and new parts of clutch/flywheel i took off.
Two minutes later he said new flywheel is wrong?? I was like what? They seemed the same, and the Ebay seller, home of all correct parts ofcourse, said it fitted a 225,which ofcourse in a way it has!But Renault guy says you get two flywheels for them!!
The difference being a 'very' slight depth difference in the surface that touches the friction plate!!
Bloody hell, here's a pic of old and new one.

 

Flywheel cost £195 off Ebay, dealer price? , i dread to think!
It didn't bother me buying the clutch line and master cyclinder, fair chance the kind of person i am i would have bought them anyway as joint at the bleeder was a bit dodgy.
I should feel gutted but i can see light at the end of the tunnel now, in a sick dismantling everything again sort of way!

 

I'm actually starting to form a theory about what this car has gone through with the previous owner, or the one before.
When i took the clutch etc off somethings were odd, couple of bolts were missing from gearbox to bellhousing, and one bolt was loose, someone just been in there??
Next thing was i was a bit disappointed in the good amount of meat left on the friction disc? Mmmm i thought,plus pressure plate auto adjuster springs were totally unwound? Knowing what i know now these two clutch conditions just don't go together!
I've a feeling someone's just stuck either a newish, or used pressure plate in there, not knowing the adjustment has to be set, and hey presto, slipping clutch!
When i test drove the car he stayed in a heavily built up area, and i didn't want to rag it in the streets! Car drove fine.
If i hadn't been the thorough type of person i am wanting to replace the flywheel, i probably would have been driving it by now.
