ok i have a 94 integra rs..heres the deal when i try to shift gears it gets stuck like it doesnt want to go in gear...i have to basically force it into gear...but now whenever i take off in first my car jerks like something is not catching...what could be the problem? tranny fluid? clutch? or just the damn tranny...your help is needed cause its pissing me off...

 

Sounds like the clutch to me, but get some other opinions too....

 

could be anything clutch related, doesn't sound like the clutch itself though. Might be a bent pressure plate or worn throwout bearing. Sounds like something isn't engaging/disengaging properly.

If your clutch pedal feels different at all you might need to fill the resevior and bleed it from having air in the lines, that happened to me last winter and I had the same things happen, but you didn't say anything about your clutch feeling different so it might be the first couple things i mentioned.

 

Clutch sounds done

 

Sounds like clutch or possible synchro problems. Is your catch point on the clutch high up? If your clutch is starting to slip, it then you might want to change it.

 

ive been thinking its everything you guys are saying...the clutch doesnt slip it just doesnt want to go into gear...until i force it into gear...and sometimes my clutch pedal shakes a little when i have it in neutral

Sounds like clutch to me. Something similar to what happened to me and countless others. This will be the third thread I have posted this pic. Notice the spring is out and it scraped against the diaphragm spring on the pressure plate. It doesn't slip, but rather doesn't seem to want to let go. Clutch pedal shaking is nutz. That means the diaphragm spring is pushed back far enough to bridge the gap to the throwout bearing, which pushes on the arm that pushes on the slave cylinder, which pushes the fluid up to your clutch master to your pedal. At least I'm assuming. Which once again sounds like the same spring predicament. Spring may be lodged, and pushing the diaphragm. Again, see pic.

You should change the clutch ASAP! Driving like you are now is putting a lot of wear on your synchros (forcing into gear), which you don't want to do. You will miss non-crunching shifts. I know I do.

i would think its the clutch, sounds like how mine was acting just before my clutch totally went out. when we changed it, one of my springs on the disc was screwed up like in yrethguads pic.

if its on all gears, ur gonna need a clutch soon

my guess = synchros

change ur clutch

 

good bye clutch
