Clutch Wont Disengage
So I have a stock 90 crx dx d15b2 and the stock tranny went so I picked up another L3, turned out to be an 88 tranny with a 21 spline shaft. I went and got a 200mm clutch disc but kept the 212mm flywheel, the disc is installed correctly and after I bolted everything up and tried to test drive it I can't put it into gear with the car started. Shut the car off and it goes into gear fine, so I started it in 1st gear and it leaped forward.
I'm trying to figure out if there's anything I can do other than buying a new flywheel, I'm pretty sure it's adjusted all the way up and it still won't disengage. I didn't think 2mm was a big enough difference to cause this, or is there something else I'm missing here..

Re: Clutch Wont Disengage
Did you make sure when you put the clutch in the springs were facing out?
I'v put a clutch in with the springs toward the flywheel and it did the same thing. Believe it or not, I actually put the clutch in backwards and it was doing the same things yours did. Pulled it back apart and flipped it, worked great. I hope this is not the case for you, but it sounds like it is if the clutch is adjusted out properly.

Well luckily the clutch disc had a label that said pressure plate side so it should be installed the right way, I'll have to double check but thanks. I'm just hoping I don't have to go out and get a new PP or flywheel.

Re: Clutch Wont Disengage
I have the clutch setup for 90 but I had to put in an 88 clutch because the trans I swapped in is an 88 with 21 splines. Just looking for a definitive answer on what else I would need, but if I can't get an answer I'll have to try it with the clutch the other way like dephtone said. I put the 88 clutch in the same way as the 90 clutch came out, idk maybe 88's were different like that as well...
