Clutch/Transmission Problem?

[rawb_dbap]

So i changed the clutch on my car, i finished yesterday and today as i was bleeding clutch i started the car, starts normal, but when it was in gear and i was trying to move the car, the wheels wouldn't move?? The hub is like locked in place, the engine feels like its pulling as if it wants to move but the wheels are the ones not functioning, what might this be? help please and thankss!!!!

Did you replace the pressure plate and check flywheel?

Sounds like something has seized.

Also, if you just changed your clutch, why are you bleeding the system? There's no need to disconnect the hydraulic lines to replace the clutch.

So the problem was the caliper bolts were on all the way, not the right bolts, they were holding the rotors.. I bleeded because after i was done the clutch pedal would stay all the way at the bottom Deev, and Now i have another problem, for some reason the steering wheel is super hard now, and when i turn the wheels it sounds like metal is scracthing on something..?

Hard steering is a power steering issue. Check your fluid level. Replace the pump if necessary. Not sure what the metal scratching sound could be, though. HOPEFULLY it's not a steering rack issue. I've never dealt with anything like that, so I have no experience with it... but it's possible. I hear it's a pain in the cajones to change the rack.

Did you scar the rotor with those bolts? If so they are destroying your pads right now.

I ripped into my rotors with a pad that was worn to the metal. I've continued using it.
Damn captive rotors... they don't mix well with a cheap/lazy deev!

Let me guess. You've had that same rotor installed for 3.5+ years?

How in the world did you get the wrong bolts in there?

Clutch fluid should be blead as often as brake fluid(at least every 2 years- and if you ask me every year).

Is the power steering pump funtioning? is there fluid in it? id javk the car up and try to turn lock to lock with the engine off while someone with at least a hint of mechanical knowledge looks for problems. or have someone turn lock to lock for you. With the car suspended in the air there should be virtually no resistance on the steering. Hell, with the car off and suspended and the ignition in the "on" position(so it doesn't lock). You should easily be able to turn the wheels left/right by hand.
