I have a 99' Si and i was driving it knowing the clutch and/or tranny was going out. knowing that, i continued to drive on it. first 2nd gear went out and 2nd, every now and then when i went to go into 5th gear i couldnt get into it unless i turned the car off... Finally, things got worse, it got to the point when ever i got to a stop light id have to turn the car off to get it into 1st gear....but last weekend i was driving and it gust went...i dont know what it'd be but either the cluch ofr tranny is sooo bad i can start the car let out the cluch in 1st and it wont stall....is that tranny or clutch...THANKS.....

 

how's your clutch pedal free play?? If you have too much slop, your clutch won't fully disengage, causing it hard to shift into gears. If thats cool, then deffinately a clutch issue. I'd suggest chaning fluid also- pretty much have to when you do the clyutch anyways

 

theres a bit...how can i change the free play???

 

well, to do it right, flush out the old fluid, cause I bet there's a lot, then you need to extend the master cylinder rod to spec...I don't have a book in front of me right now. There's also a free play adjuster nut near the top of the pedal....that will rid the slop, but wont bring you back to pedal height spec...

 

damn thats fucked up yo.. my third gear started goin out so i just bout an 01 itr tranny Goodluck dude

 

2 things u can do

flush & refresh your clutch fluid (make sure you dont get any air in the lines)

adjust the play in your clutch pedal (get down on the floor, there is a bolt up on the clutch pedal, its easy once you see it)


good luck. tranny problems blow
