today i was getting to school and went through a puddle and the car started acting wierd(like it started to hop). i parked my car went to class for a little bit over an hour and when i came outside started the car and it didnt want to go into any gear. it only goes in when the car is off.

does the puddle i went through mess something up?

Does the car drive if you start the engine in first gear?

honda305

yes

And thereafter you have problems changing to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or reverse? With the engine running, do you hear noise when you press the clutch pedal down or when you bring it back up? Have you checked for water in the tranny?

when i start the car in second the car goes flying it stays in gear but i can only move it to neutral. after that i have to turn off the car to get it to move into another gear. no i dont hear any noises when i press the clutch pedal down or up. i havent checked out the tranny yet its dark out

When you take off in second gear, will the engine disengage from the transmission (car is no longer propelled forward) when you push the clutch pedal down? Or do you have to pop the transmission into neutral? In other words, does the clutch work?

do you have a cold air intake?

honda305

it disengages with the pedal pushed down, i dont remember forcing it out of gear.



and no i have a short ram intake

Your clutch is still dragging even when the pedal is pushed down, and this is preventing you from shifting gears once the engine is running. Start by checking for low fluid in the clutch master cylinder reservoir. You also may have air in the system, which requires bleeding, or even a bad master or slave cylinder. Another possibility is a bad clutch pressure plate.

ill agree with the dude above, check ur clutch cyl. probably low or empty semms like the puddle is just a coincidence. air in the line is now a possibility if it ran dry, they r know for leaking into the car. they wear out when people sit at stop lights with the clutch pushed in. its just pressure on the little seal that does not need to be there. when u drive ill bet u sit at lights with it in gear huh?

By any chance could the selector in the gearbox be at fault.?

if you need to bleed it just pump the clutch thats what i did it takes like an hr but it works
