The problem in not moving is that the master cylinder is still under pressure and is not releasing the clutch(slipping) With air still in the system you will grate 1st gear as the clutch will not disengage. The master cylinder probably has a blocked compensating port and so the fluid pumped up to activate the clutch is not flowing back to the reservoir. Because you have replaced the slave then it is probably time to replace the master as well

Why is my 2006 pt cruiser still overheating and bubbling when i replaced the radiator the thermostat and the o2 censor

O2 sensor has nothing to do with engine overheating. Are you losing coolant? Did you bleed all the air out of the cooling system after replacing radiator? Have you checked the coolant for exhaust gas byproducts? You may have a bad head gasket, or a cracked block/head if you ran the car for an extended period while overheated.

2001 Pt Cruiser 5 speed, Hi... trying to check my clutch cable connection... replaced slave cylinder, and master cylinder. .. but it still a fight to go into gear...

Try pumping the clutch a while, sounds like trapped air. There hard to bleed . Look up a bleeding procedure .it may show you some thing different to do

I can't get my car into gear.

Sometimes the rod on the slave cylinder by the transmission is adjustable, and you can get more travel. Have somebody pump the clutch pedal while you watch the slave cylinder rod moving.

When you replace a slave or master cylinder you have to do a bleed of the master cylinder. It is called a bench bleed. I am sure there is a lot of air in the system.

Clutch feels loose,no pressure. gears are stuck, shifter wont moveis it the clutch adjustment?

The Clutch Master Cylinder or the Clutch Slave Cylinder has a leak. From under the dashboard, located the Clutch Master Cyliner Boot and pry one side open. If hydraulic fluid drips out, the piston seal(s) in the cylinder are worn. You'll need to replace the cylinder.

They put a clutch in the car when i got it in 2009 and now it makes a humming sound when have foot on gas then quits when let off gas but also makes a rattle when you start its like a flywheel making noise...

It may be that the throwout bearing is lightly contacting the clutch assembly even when not in use. Check to see if there is an adjustment for the stroke of the clutch slave cylinder at the transmission. It may be pushing the throwout bearing into the rotating clutch assembly.

2001 pt cruiser gearbox not smooth

OK, if it's a cluth probelm then you either need a new clutch, or it's a problem with the slave cylinder. I've even heard if as simple a problem as the bolts holding the slave clynider coming loose, so when you press the clutch, the slave actually moves. If you're having troubles getting it into gear (metal on metal) your shift linkage bushings could be worn. There are 2 on the shifter end, and 2 on the transmission end. I recommend replacing them with a more solid bushing from ****** Racing (www.boogerracing.com) that will give a much more confident feel than the stock rubber bushings.
