Well, I had some problems with my 99 JDM ITR Motor recently installed into a 1998 Civic DX.

Anyhow, all the problems were squared away yesterday...

Now, after everything was installed. I go to pull the car out and wtf? It doesnt go into gear.

From experience and sound, it sounds to be a bad throw out bearing?

When you push in the clutch and winding/grinding noise comes into play..then after releasing the clutch..the noise goes away.

When the car is off however, the tranny feels FINE, goes into all gears perfectly. However, once the car is on. After pushing in the clutch, it wont allow it to go into gear.

Im guessing or wondering. If cause the motor was sitting, that the throw out bearing dried out?

Anyhow, have any of you had this problem and resolved this issue without pulling the tranny?

I seriously do <U>NOT</U> want to take the tranny out, but then again..if I have to..I guess this is the aftermath of not checking these things while the motor was out

Thanks for ANY help you can provide

 

you have to take it out...sounds like a throw out bearing.

 

Yup sounds like that or the fork is fucked. Either way you got to take the tranny off again to get a better idea of what it could be.

 

damn, these are the replys I was scared to hear
