I have a 99 Gsr b18c1 and I am having problems getting into any gear. When the car is off I can go into gear do I know it's not the transmission since I can accelerate.

If its a clutch issue, I have no idea what I need for a new clutch or would changing the clutch master cylinder be a first option?



If you know the club part number please tell me it, I'm on oem site but don't know which things I need

Thank you

 

Take it to a shop. If you do not know how it works you can not fix it. Educate yourself. Get some manuals. Understand what the clutch does and what all the parts of the system do.

At that point fixing it will be much easier.

It is like a door. If you didn't know how it works, with a handle on one side and hinges on the other. How would you go through it?

Yes, it is most likely a clutch issue. Does it grind or just feel like you are hitting a wall when trying to get into gear? Most likely I would say the clutch is not disengaging. Could be from bad master or slave. Look and see if either are leaking fluid. Have someone push on the pedal and watch the slave, is it moving and how far? Once those questions have been answered and fixed if necessary, you will know if you have to pull the trans. Could be a pilot bearing exploded and is holding up the input shaft, or the disk has come apart.

 

First things first man, check the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder. If it's low, it could be causing your problem. Check the easy things first. It could very easily be something simple like that. If it is more involved, like the clutch needing to be replaced, it is not too terrible. If you did the work on your BMW's in the past, you shouldn't have much of a problem.

 

It literally feels like a wall is there blocking the gears. But I was thinking of replacing the slave and master because my clutch pedal has a lot of play in it

 

If its not that, would this be all I need if I wanted a new clutch ? http://gripforce.com/exedy-oem-clutc...i-del-sol-b16/

 

Just bought a master and slave cylinder. Replacing today.

 

Make sure you set the free play correctly.

 

Yep, that's all you would need.

Good luck on it, hopefully you fix it when you replace the slave and master cylinders, to save yourself the hassle.

 

Thanks guys appreciate it! And Honda-dummy what do you mean free play set correctly

 

There is an adjustment at the clutch pedal. The rod that comes from the master and attaches to the pedal has adjustment. Too tight and it is like you are driving with your foot pressing on the pedal all the time. Too loose and you will not get enough throw from the slave to disengage the clutch.

Install the master and slave and bleed the system. Then feel the clutch pedal. Usually easier the grab it with your hand. There should be about 1/2 inch of movement that is totally free. If not you will need to make adjustments to achieve this. Main thing is to not have too tight and burn up the throwout bearing for the clutch, or have the clutch slipping.

 

if you are infact in the corps....goto the auto skills center on base they will point you in the right direction and hold your hand through the entire process to teach you. that what we pay them for. they have every tool imaginable and lifts. its like 5 bucks a hour to rent a bay or some ****

 

Honda-dummy thanks man I know what you're talking about now.


And Mike, I am in fact a Marine, but from a t bone I am home in Wichita Kansas recovering. I have a book on diesels that I kept and for me to get another book I'd have to go to OKC.

 

Good deal, sounds like you are on the way to getting it fixed.
