Help Yall. Did a B18C1 swap in my Ek and I changed from a stock clutch to a complete street ACTClutch. Every thing seems fine when I put it in. Bled the clutch, put oil in the casing. Shifted fine when engine is off, but when I turned on the engine, it will not shift into any gear at all. With the clutch pressed to the floor the clutch still would not engage. Any info guys, on this would surely help? Pressure plate bolted on too tight? Clutch not bled right? Tranny Broke? Let me know folks? Thanks

is your slave cylinder hooked up ok? did you use the alignment key putting the clutch in? everything bolted down ok?

Yeah everything seems fine. I used the alignment tool. Installed the new pilot bearings and release bearing too. Everything bolted right up. It goes in gear when the car is turned off, but when I turn on the car and the engine is spinning, then it's preventing me from shifting into any gears. Any suggestions?

did you use a new flywheel or the old one ?

1-BAD-EK9-R

Brand new ACT heavy duty pressure plate, new street disc, and New ACT prolite fly wheel. Got it as a complete kit, so everything is new, eeven the pilot and throw out bearings. Any other recommendations or possible error in my installation maybe?

When you push the pedal in when the car is off how does it feel?

It felt firm and I could shift into any gear when the engine is off. Only when the engine is on I can't shift to gear, any gear. It's like preventing me from shifting or something.

sounds like the clutch isn't totally disengaged

mikeycivic

your best bet is to pull it apart and check everything again,

mikeycivic

if you leave your car in first gear and start it does it start?

sounds like you put the clutch disc on backwards

to me it sounds like the clutch slave cylinder isn't pushing the fork or maybe it's not in right. i would check out the cylinder to see if it's in right and maybe have someone watch it as you step on the clutch...if not it's something inside the tranny...so have fun pulling it off again...

Thanks for the info peeps, I was hpoing it would be something easy. I guess it leaves me no choice, but to take off the tranny again. That was something I hope I would'nt have to do. Anyways it'll be fun.
