Won't Go into ANY gear! HELP!!
FINALLY got all the loose ends of my swap done. Now I cannot get into any gear. Car on or car off it does not matter. When I try it seems to hit something. I can hear a clunk noise just before it should go into gear.
I have a 97 civic hatch with LSV, GSR tranny and GSR linkage. Have checked ALL bushings. Again the shifter seems to stop before I get into gear. Should I have used a 99-00 Si linkage?
I have checked the bitch pin also. It does not grind at all. Like if the clutch did not disengage and I was trying to force it into gear.
Please help, I want to drive my car. Been struggling for 2 weeks with this swap.

if your engine is not running and (everything installed correctly) if it will not let u shift you either have a bent shift fork or something is not installed correctly internally inside your trans. sorry dude!

Re: Won't Go into ANY gear! HELP!!
The clutch seems to relese just fine. And I did install the throw out bearing correctly. With the car off you dont need the clutch to put it in gear. (nothing is turning)
I am gonna pull the linkage and see if I can get in gear manually. Fingers crossed
If not I get to pull the tranny YEAAAAAAAA!!!!UPDATE:
I do infact have to pull the tranny. It will not go into gear manually w/ linkage disconnected.

Re: Won't Go into ANY gear! HELP!!
try to spin the input shaft. if its locked up, check the snap ring in the case. Ive not clipped the ring in all the way and had a similar problem. Had to JAM the hell out of it to get it in gear and then when i let the clutch out it wouldn't even turn. Did you have the trans apart?

"wont let me shift" like i cant move the shifter in the cabin? Or like the shifter moves but just wont land in any gears.

UPDATE:
I pulled the tranny and took it Forged Performance (good guys in there ) They popped the case and found the shift change assembly had a broken arm. Everything else looked great. Even though It is a LS trans and was supposed to be GSR. But now it will drive at least. Only cost me $100. They even stayed after just to help me!!

Re: Won't Go into ANY gear! HELP!!
I'm having the same problem car wont go into gear because it is stuck in third. I pulled the tranny and checked the synchros and gave it a full inspection even cleaned it inside. I re-assembled everything together , pin at the top gave me such a hard time. tranny in back together and when i try selcting gears it seems like the gear shift points are real close from neutral to any other gear. Is that normal?
