Hey guys, I got a question for everyone, and yes, I searched.

So anyways i got out for a spin one day, come home, everythings fine, park the car, leave it. 2 days later I go out to my car and get in, start it up, put the clutch in, try to put it in reverse, and heard that horrible gear grinding sound, so i let go of the clutch, pushed it in again, and tried it again, the same thing happening, so I try going into first, while the car is on, no dice, no dice for the 3 other gears either, it goes into the gears fine when the engine is off, so i think its the clutch. I already have the clutch to install, but am wondering if theres a quick fix, or do i have to pay the 260~ to get it installed. Thanks. Il put up a pic if theres any interest.

 

Did it slip before? When was the last time you had it fixed? What tranny/engine?

 

You could also try the adjuster under the hood on the tranny maybe its just out of adjustment??

 

D15b, not sure about tranny, 4 speed manny. Yea it did slip a little bit, but not taht much, it was fine, let it sit 2 days, bam didnt work. And what do you mean by the adjuster?

 

if you put it in gear then start it what happenes does it move does it stay still

There is an adjuster right on the tranny itself that adjusts the cable so that it takes the slack out if your clutch is wearing down.

 

yeah sounds like you dont have enough engagment their and should prolly just be adjusted. i have never heard of clutch wear before just from a car not even turned on haha.

 

Well il go out and see what i can do, but it pulls pretty tight when u press down the clutch.

 

Does anyone have a schematic of the tranny/clutch? Im trying to figure out how to tighten the cable.

 

bumpbump bump bump it up

 

Someone please!!!

 

Same thing happend on my car, put the clutch in about half way then see if it will shift. It should just be clutch cable also make sure what fluid u put into your tranny. My 89 si used 10w30 or 10w40 motor oil , with the ratings sg, sf

 

Where is the cap for the tranny fluid?
