So today i was driving and i felt that my car wasn't shifting properly, i knew there was a problem, also, the shifts were jerky. I was about to pull over after i noticed it, but as i was shifting i couldnt put it in any gear. So basically i started coasting... I pulled over in a turning lane to check under the hood.

I check my Hydrolic tank to see if i had fluid, and i did. I wasn't leaking from my Master or Slave cylinder. The clutch still had pressure, i just couldnt put it in gear.

Now, next thing i decide to do. Since im holding up traffic and there is no way im pushing it in flip flops across an intersection. So here is what i try. I turn the car off and then im able to put it in gear that way, but when i start the car, even with the clutch ALL the way down, it stalls.... so basically when the light turned green i did that agian, and right before it stalled i reved up and was able to drive it to the side of the road after i turned.

Now i tried that once more, and now i cant even turn the car on!!! Its like the starter or something is now shot, it wouldnt even turn over... now i cant start my car... but can still shift the gears while its off. So i had to call a towing service and get the car taken to Acura... This sucks...

What do you all think my problem is? i was thinking syncro's but im not sure even, and why wont my car start?? thanks for the ideas everyone..

 

your clutch probably isn't engaging right. you know kind of like when you car is off and you can move the shifter without pressing the clutch in. and you hav eto push the clutch in to start the car. Since you car isnt even turning over its probably your clutch isnt engaging right. its kind of like you trying to start your car without pressing down the pedal.

thats just my .02cents

Yea dude, exactly... thats exactly whats going on, cause it was stalling out when i started it even with my foot all the way down on the clutch. So what do you think they will be needing to replace? and if it is what i think, just the clutch, than thats not very expensive i think

 

Sounds like the pressure plate took a ****.....I have had that happen to me before Sucks when it happens just normal driving.

 

well if you take it to the dealer ship then it will be expensive lol thats why they call it the stealership. i once had to get my flywheel resurfaced and a brand new clutch installed that i bought seperately for $875. what a bunch of ******. it may be just as simple as having to bleed your clutch or as big as having to replace it. i had a similar problem once turned out that it just needed to be rebleed. hope that helps
good luck

 

What dealership was that? That price is pretty high, especially if you supplied your own parts.

 

i moved down here to st cloud about 1 1/2 month ago from alexandria virginia. the its calle radley acura and it like a five minute drive from d.c. I know i got ripped off but i dont know whats up their ***. One thing for sure though is that the car ran really good after that and for a long time lol.

 

I just talked to my service advisor and the labor here at my dealer is about $400 with your own parts of course.
