    Gears won't engage! :-(

    Alright so Thursday night after watching my buddies E39 get towed mine completely stopped going into gear two minutes after. I literally drove two blocks, stopped at a red light then the car wouldn't engage into gear. It just kept high reving but no kick. I tried turning off going into any gear but it wouldn't engage.

    So I got the car towed home and figured it had to be the clutch master cylinder, since I replaced the slave cylinder last summer. So took about 5 hrs to get the sucker out pick up the part from Rohan and throw it back in. Okay so then I bleed the clutch line, put the car on solid ground AND NOTHING!! WTF!?! I then decided to bring it back up and try to bleed one more time, but thing time when closing the bleeder, i broke the nipple.
    I'm so damn frustrated right now and I have no fucking clue what this issue is. I'm going to find another slave and put that in and maybe, with the conbo of a new slave & master cylinder it might work. Or maybe I'm an idiot and bled the clutch wrong.

    Someone please HELP!! I need suggestions of what to look for or dooo. :sad:

        The clutch pedal was very soft, so I changed my Clutch MC today. but that didn't solve the issue. I'm thinkg maybe my slave went out on me, even though it's pretty new. I think the rod in the slave is bad. And if that isn't it, then I'll be dragging it to Rohan's shop :-(

        Well that is unless some more suggestions roll in and maybe they answer this issue. :-)

          The dog teeth in the gears maybe the issue too. How old is the trans?

              Yeah, slowly giving up on trying to figure this out myself. I guess I'll have to bring in some professional help.
