Ok well basically the car is a 92 si hatch. it will go into gear when the cars off but when the cars cranked it wont go into gear...???? ive been told change the clutch like the whole kit. so i did new bearing pressure plate and clutch disc. ive been told to bleed the clutch a BUNCH, i did that to. then i was told it could be the linkage i did that to... so if anyone has had this problem or anything like it let me know! cause this car needs to move lol.

Replace the slave cylinder?

Does it go into any gear when it is running

Former User

Do the gears shift easily with the engine off?

Did you replace the throwout bearing? I read you did the pressure plate and disc, but you failed to mention throwout bearing.

Getownit

Hell nah when the cars on it wont go into any gear i mean reverse but it grinds soooo much and you gotta put some he man strength to put it in. shifts smooth when its not cranked. Yea i got a staged clutch and they gave me the whole kit both bearings and the plates. like i replaced it all got a new slave cyl to. lmk

Getownit

TTT think i should just get a new trans?

Bad Pressure Plate? Springs on clutch are bad? Did you bleed the clutch Slave Cyl? Check clutch master Cyl or you probably need to adjust clutch pedal

Getownit

I got an entire clutch kit came with pressure plate clutch plate and bearings. alos changed the slave. soo bad trans?

JDMxTai

I'd rather say its a clutch problem, but could be tranny.

how long ago did you put in the kit?
You never mention the clutch master Cylinder is the cap on all the way lol.
Does the pedal stick to floor by any chance?
Have you notice any differance between clutch engagement before you had the problem and after? like Stiff clutch or Pedal feels lighter?

Getownit

Changed the clutch like 2 days ago. it was doing all of what i mentioned ^ before and after i changed everything. (lol yup caps on) pedal feels different because i went from staged clutch to stock but its not sticking or nothin. the engagement i guess feels fine but when i put it in 1st with the car off and then crank it the wheels want to spin without me giving it gas and its on the ground. i know the wheels will spin if its in the air since its fwd. mastercyl is fine i chekced it made sure its not leaking and all.

JDMxTai

Would of been good info at first lol.
Your Clutch slightly engages when pedal all the way on the floor.
You Need to adjust your clutch pedal.
Does the pedal have free play? It should have a little free play.
When you swap clutch you should adjust pedal especially from stock to aftermarket or vise versa.

OP measure the free play of the clutch pedal and post it up.

Have you checked your master and slave cylinder?

RedHatch00

have you checked your pedal assembly, believe it or not one of my bolts fell out of the assembly and the car didnt want to move because the assembly got all out of wack

Getownit

alright well i just pulled the motor back out a few mins ago. gonna eat and get back at it. pulled the trans off and everything was lined up right no big gaps nothin was in the wrong place or anything at all. yea the clutch has a little play like always ima still check on the assembly thanks for that would have never thought of it.

Getownit

Yup and every line on them to made sure no leaking was happening they were full whole 9 yards.

NACvicSi

NACvicSi

Good luck with it man. I just seen you are somewhat local in Decatur. You should just ditch it and buy my GSR.

Getownit

Haha well id ditch it but its my buddies i dont know if you know either of these guys but its a red hatch with a little monster single cam d16z6 in it the guys that used to own it were clay braynt and a guy named opie. but my friend has it now. id love to get a gsr but im currently doing a project check out my build thread its a mini mee!

but after that im buying a 77 cvcc from a friend in muscle shoals and hes got everything to put a gsr in it

mother ef-er

i am not responsible for any damage if you decide to go with this method..

i had the same problem a few years back with an ef that wouldnt shift. i tried everything in the world to get it right but to no avail. it was just a daily beater so i said "f it".

my brother in law pushed me and the car with his honda foreman to about 15 mph and i slipped the car into 1st, closed my eyes, and popped the clutch. the tranny made no unusual noises and the car started. i shifted through all gears to make sure everything was gravy. 4 years later the car still drives like a dream. although its my side project now, everything is perfect with the tranny/clutch.

**worst case scenario** lol, good luck.
