Regarding transmission problem, My car just didn't go in gear at a red light so I towed it home. Remove the cable transmission and found out the spring that held the throwout bearing, one of the clip broke off.. so only one clip was still on the throwout bearing. I'm referring to part #5, would that cause the transmission to not go in gear?



Opinions welcome. BTW it's a 91 Integra

 

just replaced my release bearing and the spring was broken, it also would not go into 1st gear so i think that was the problem.

 

Yes that would create the problem. Could it go into other gears besides one?

 

It couldn't go into any gears, I would shift into all gears without pressing the shift clutch pedal while the engine is still on.

I will be replacing that spring today and also the pilot bearing, and throwout bearing. The clutch & pressure plate looks good still.

 

my car would get stuck on 1st and reverse.

 

Same thing happened to my DA, it doesn't want to go into any gears. First I thought that it might have been my clutch cable because one of my buddies told me that sometimes the clutch cable become loose. So he told me to tighten it which worked for a couple of days, but the problem came back. I really haven't had the time to take the transmission apart; therefore, I haven't really identified the problem, but maybe this can be it.
