Sounds like clutch isn't disengaging.
First stuff to eliminate would be more air that might be in the system. Especially since you replaced the slave. This would make sense b/c you were able to drive it for ~100km. Is the pedal mushy at all? You indicated there was air already in the system- if some of this worked into the cylinder, then it could be stuck there and could cause the issue. Second possible thing- are you sure the clutch pedal is properly adjusted? If the clutch point shifted, then again the clutch may not be disengaging. Third- something broke inside or the assembly that disengages the clutch and flywheel somehow has come apart.The last time you drove it- did something seem off? If any of the bearings disintegrated, you would've probably noticed it! Eliminate the first two first. If problem persists, then let us know and we can go further. If you got this job done from somewhere, did you give them a call? Are they reputable? good luck gc |

BTW, if the clutch was not disengaging the engine from the trans when pushing the clutch in, then trying to shift into gear would make grinding/crunching sounds. |
