Here's a brain buster!
ok so i installed a new clutch kit and flywheel on my 92 Lx at first it wouldn't let me shift into gears so i adjusted the clutch pedal and fixed the problem. then a buddy of mine said i need to raise the car up and make sure the tires arent spinning while in gear with the clutch pressed to the floor. so i did that and they werent spinning, great!! so i put the car in nuetral and release the clutch, and what do i see? the tires are spinning in neutral!!! WTF? anybody know why? also to all the people with there timing belt covers off how much does your belt wobble? mine has alittle wobble to it when the car runs. thnaks guys!!

yea the tires will spin when the clutch is in weather er not you are in a gear. the clutch disenguages the engine from the tranny when it's depressed

even with it in neutral, the mainshaft still spins. from one end to the other, and the slight drag on all the components on the mainshaft will cause enough friction to have the output shaft spin. thats all. it is normal.

Re: Here's a brain buster! (Btothe3rdDegree)
ok just want to make sure i am reading this right, if the car is jacked up the clutch is pressed in and in nuetral and the tires ARE NOT spinning, then i let go of the clutch and the tires begin to spin alittle that is ok? also if i put my hand on the tires they stop spinning, this is all normal? i just want to make sure i am not burning out my clutch.
