Gearing not working once turbo
Ok I have a 2002 civic lx that I just turbo'd today and I am now havign some trouble with my gearing on it. I have an ACT clutch installed and I know that it is not bad. The problem is I cannot even get the car to go into any gear once I finished the turbo install. I press the clutch down all the way and it will not go into any gear at all, it just grinds when i try to put it in gear. I can put it in gear with the car off though. I did try putting it in 1st gear with the cra off then turning the car on with my fott completely ont he clutch though. It was weird, the car started going forward like I was giving ti gas and my foot was still completely on the clutch. Anyone have any idea wtf is the problem?

i helped with the install and we didnt touch anything with the tranny, the only issue we had was with the hard line on the front of the tranny was in the way of the compressor housing , but after all said and done it didnt cause a problem, i dont beleive its dented or anything either...

as long as all of your lines are good it sounds like a fluid problem. Does the pedal feel any different? Check to make sure your fluid level in the master cylinder is right, and you may want to bleed the clutch line just to make sure thats not the problem.

Re: (tfnaaf)
ug. this cant be good. i tried pumping the clutch pedal to build pressure back in the clutch lines and did this a couple times before something not so good happened. as i was pumping the clutch, i heard a popping noise and then the clutch pedal stuck to the ground. anyone know wtf this could be? i think i am just goign to have to take my car to the local clutch and transmission place for them to figure out

you just answered your own question. that bracket holds your slave stationary...so if its broken, therwes no way your slave will be able to push pressure onto the fork to engage/dissengage the clutch.
You just found your own problem and fix

Re: (abmerop18)
same thing happened to me on my 02 civic. the ACT clutch was a bit harder at first and the slave might not have been lined up right and the extra force broke it off. Just replace the slave and bleed the system and your good to go.
