Alrite i searched the forum but nothin has come up with the same problem as mine. So here i go. I think the problem might be the clutch or tranny, but when i shift into first and hold the clutch down.. sometimes it jus starts shaking.. the car is.. and it feels like its about to die... i put the gear back to neutral and den i can't shift anywhere... i usually have to reclutch it alot before it gets back to first gear.
Also, my Reverse gear sometimes is hard to shift into. thank you.

my car does the same but it doesn't shake on me. sometimes i just have to let go of the clutch and put it back into gear. and for reverse u usually shift it in a lil harder then normal gears.

i put it back into neutral, let go of the clutch, then try shiftin to first..but it won't go in.. it won't go in any other gear either. and it shakes alot den i usually shift to neutral again. i should try n see if the car moves or not.

Rcp

it won't go into any other gears because u gotta clutch it again.. thats what i figured since you didn't mention it.

MY INTEGRA DID THAT LIKE FOR 4 MONTHS BEOFORE THE CLUTCH FINALY GAVE. ITS THE SPINGS ON THE DISK THAT HITS THE FLY WHEEL WITCH SOMETIMES GIVES YOU A HARD TIME TO PUT IT IN GEAR. ITS ALSO A TSB ACCORFING TO ALDATA.COM SO IT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE THE INTEGRAS WITH THE STOCK CLUTCH.

teg your it

i got prolly the same problem on my teg. it won't go into any gears at all. one time i warmed up my car for a long time then i can finally put it into gear. but then yesturday i did the same thing i won't go into gear. then this one time while the car is running, i pumped the clutch for a while then try to put into gears....it worked like it should. i dont' kno how it worked but it worked. u should try that.

Yeah this was the same problem in a previous thread. See the spring in the pic? Also notice where it was grinding against the diaphragm.

Also check for fluid leaks. Could be a slow leak making your clutch start to grab as you hold it, but not likely.

well of course i know that i have to clutch it again to get it into gear again.. when i got it into gear once.. it jus shakes like hell and it barely moves.. so i think it is the clutch. i keep steppin on the clutch and lettin it go but it doesn't seem to work.. the only times it works is when i turn off the car and start it up again. and then i barely can even shift. i think the clutch is wearing out .. i can barely even drive it now.. started happenin yesterday. and yeah the clutch is stock.

forgot to mention its on a 95 ls integra.

cheaphonda

throw out bearing is my guess but when you replace that, you might as well replace the clutch

Sounds even more like mine was. Let me know what it was after you replace it. Very curious. My car had about 180k miles on it when I changed mine so I don't think it was the original.

ur clutch is definatly going, it just happened to me.

one day i went out to my car to start it, and it wouldn't go into any gear while running (started in nuetral), so i tried putting it in gear and then starting it and when it did the whole car shaked like hell. Felt like the clutch was partially engaging, rubbing against the flywheel, even with the pedal all the way down.

eMbrace

yup sounds just like mine, i guess i should just replace the whole clutch. even when i stepped it all the way down.. the clutch feels weak also. ty guys i'll keep u posted after i change the clutch

rough_draft

ur pressure plate is fucked. time for a clutch kit

Same thing thats going on but i just turn the car off and start it on 1st gear and runs good for a while. But gonna change the clutch pretty soon.

Tweakmeister

Start with the basics (fluid for master/slave cylinder) then progress into the harder stuff.

The stock (Exedy made) clutches are garbage. Mine became hard to shift and it was one of the spring retainers (chuck of metal).

The new one in the picture is an Action 1KS...the design is much more robust.

eMbrace

ok... i jus tried driving my car.. and it runs.. good.. without the gear being stiff or anything.. none of the problems that i have explained are happening.. so wahts the conclusion on my problem? a leak somewhere that is makin it slip? the stock exedy clutches are crap??!?!?! i jus ordered one...

If it's what happened to us it's not fixed. There's nowhere for that spring to go, unless some ribs on the diaphragm broke, but I don't think it would work very well after that. Change the clutch ASAP!!! The hard shifting (not wanting to go into gear unless the engine and trans are in sync) is wearing on your synchros big time. Ask me how I know this. If I try to shift quickly in some gears it crunches. My shifting has evolved to avoid it though. It used to be nice just flicking my wrist with my short shifter. I'm not talking about racing, just normal shifting.

I agree w/ this guy, my clutch started acting up on me but then the problem went away so I ignored it (it was slipping inbetween gears). About two weeks later, and with no warning, the clutch went completely out when I was driving to my ex-g/f's house. I tried to drive home in 1st gear and ended up getting in an accident and totalling my Integra.

The best thing you can do is check for fluid leaks. If everything is right on, then it's time for a new clutch. DON'T put it off, I would hate for anyone to be in my situation. Or, for that matter, if anything happens just use AAA. I'll never get my old integra back.

oh man.. thats some bad luck RidinStock. yeah i have a clutch on the way.. and i'm not gonna drive it again lol. You guys are saying that since i can't shift then its the clutches... which i'm gonna change but my friend's bro had his integra checked when it was like this... but it wans't first year.. it was reverse and 3rd gear... and it was his transmission... thats different from mine.. jus wanan know if my transmission is the problem. i need to get it checked jsu wanted your opinions.

If your not grinding gears, then it's more than likely not the trans. I had the same problem with my 92, the car was hard to get into gear, and hard to shift, when I pulled the clutch it looked like the one above in the picture.

eMbrace

ohh thanks.. i jus wanted to hear that... didn't want to get a new tranny yet. lol

Makes me wonder if I pulled the original clutch... Car had like 180k miles at the time. Was yours the original?
