Default EP3 Transmission Help

Whats up guys, So over the past week i've been helping my brother replace a clutch in his 03 Civic Si. Everything seemed to go smooth other than bleeding the clutch because of the location. the bleeder screw is under the intake manifold which makes it a massive pain in the ***. anyways. I felt like i got pressure in the pedal, so we drove the car up the road.

it seemed to be fine but at the top of the road there was a small pop and then it would not move, it felt like it was in neutral. It feels like it goes into gear but nothing happens. any ideas where to start troubleshooting.


Thanks Guys, any help is appreciated

Does it feel like it's in neutral (some resistance) or like the linkage/shifter is broken (no resistance)?

Look for leaks and try bleeding the system again. If that doesn't work you may have a bad master or slave cylinder or, you may have to pop it back open to see what happened.

Just curious as to why you bled the clutch line after a clutch instal? Did you open the system accidently?


Anyways if you put the car in gear when it's off and then turn it on still in gear what happens?
