84 CRX transmission locked
1984 CRX with manual transmission.
Will not go into gear when the engine is running, but will when it is off.
If I put it into gear and try to start car with the clutch pedal down, it stays engaged and it lurches forward.

Re: 84 CRX transmission locked
Have you checked the play at the clutch arm on the transmission? You can adjust the play at the transmission by threading in/out the adjustment nut. It sounds as though yours may be out of spec.
Grab the end of the arm and wiggle it up and down, you should feel some play, yours may have more play than Honda recommends (4-5mm). If you thread the nut down you can reduce your freeplay to Honda spec.
Give this a shot first, it may be a quick fix.

Re: 84 CRX transmission locked
Hi,
I had the same problem with a '91. Eventually I just put into 1st, started it and just gunned it. And then rocked it a bit. I think corrosion just froze the tranny a bit.

This is what we've been talking about here. This is exactly what you need to do... adjust the nut until there is 4-5mm of movement in the arm.
