A friend and myself just did my clutch assy last night in m 95 Civic DX. D16y7 motor, D16a6 trans. Brand new XTD 6-puck clutch, XTD 8lb flywheel, XTD heavy pressure plate, Nachi throw out bearing, Nachi pilot bearing. The car drove fine for a little bit, but then after a short drive, when I shifted into 2nd, all my gears turned into nuetral. My clutch still feels fine, but I can't go anywhere. ALSO I can get the car into gear WITHOUT the clutch when the car is RUNNING, whereas normally the trans would grind and not let you. When I do this, the speedo goes up a few mph every gear. Any suggestions?

Make sure the roll/bitch pin that connects the linkage to the transmission is not gone. Other than that?? I can't help.

Figured it out, heh, the damn axle came loose

Dude, my driver side axle popped out on me 3 times before I figured out the problem and fixed it. One of my lower motor mount nuts fell off and the other side was totally ripped. The engine was moving to one side far enough for the axle splines to come out. I thought I broke an axle the first time but took it out and it was still good. I thought maybe it just didn't snap into the transmission properly. Then I carried tools to do the repair job on the road just in case and ended up pulling the axle on the side of the road and popping it back in on 2 occassions. It all started after installing a racing clutch and light weight flywheel. Definitely check your lower front engine mounts. I installed Energy Suspension inserts in them as well and used some long skinny bolts and washers to hold the inserts snug instead of those plastic tie wrap thingys they give you.
