hi, i have a b18c1 motor with a b16 tranny and after driving all day, it didnt let me get into any gears at all. after letting it cool down for a little, it let me get into them for about 5-10 mins of driving but it made a soft winding noise and would act like i wasnt holding down on the clutch when i stopped in 1st gear (it stalled) then it stopped letting me get into te gears again. So any help would be appreciated

is there any oil in the tranny

YungD618

yea, i just changed the fluid on saturday and put in 2.3qts

did u install the clutch backwards?

YungD618

the clutch was in there when i bought it but i highly doubt its backwards b/c its driven fine for the past 2 months that i've had it. it started this outta nowhere

Can't be done on any honda i've ever seen. You can do it on some other stuff though.

this happened to me last night but on top ogf it when i finally got it into first i started drivin and the wheels locked up

I'm thinking maybe it's b/c I drive it all day and I don't have a tranny cooler so maybe it got too hot or a clutch master or slave cylinder?

idk my mine is doing the exact same thing so if you find out the problem post what you did

YungD618

welllll, i did even more research and found that people with same problem is b/c the pressure plate isn't tightened enough so it must've untightened itself so i just ordered a new clutch kit today and ill keep posted

YungD618

i haven't been on in a while, but it ended up being that 1 of the clutch disc springs popped off so it was jamming itself between the flywheel and vlutch disc, making it always engaged

it sounds stupid but check your axles even though that is most likely not the issue. you mpost likely have an internal/ clutch problem

check your master cylinder , clutch line , etc , sounds like you dont have any pressure in the system and are stuck in 1st gear or something.

lol just to clear this up, honda 5 SPD tranny DO NOT have stock tranny cooler lol. only automatic do.

op i normally always do clutch check/change when i swap a tranny or replace it, hope u do same in future! had this happened couple times to my self also lol

^ yea i messed up on that post and didnt catch myself but it drives fine after i swapped clutches
