Ok first off if you help me fix my problem or guide me in the way to where I fix my problem I will send $5 through paypal to your account.

My setup:

94 civic coupe
d16z6
y8 tranny
act xtss clutch

First off I had the original d16z6 tranny in but it grinded alot of gears so I swapped it out for a y8 tranny, while I did the tranny swap I put in a act xtss clutch. I went with this clutch because I knew it would grip hard and I knew I was going to turbo it soon. Well after 2 months of everything working perfectly fine one morning when I was driving to school I switched into 2nd gear and barely missed it right away my engine was free reving and not going anywhere, just as if you would burn up a clutch. Well once I pulled over and shut my engine off the car fealt like it wasnt locking into any gear. When I would start the car it would def. not go in any gear as if somthing was blocking the shift linkage from moving. So I thought it was the tranny. (all along I had a fealing this clutch could of not messed up that tranny so fast.) So I bought a new y8 tranny from a local and just put it in last night.(8 hours) Now the exact same thing the car wont go into gear when I start it. I forgot to mention when I pulled the first one it looked like the shift fork that slides over the bearing had gotten thrown off. Not sure though if it just feal off when I pulled the tranny. So I made sure everything was in perfect place when I swapped it in. If my car's not on and someone is standing by my hood by pushing the shifter into gears it goes in. As soon as you start it up though it wont move anywhere not even with force. It seems like somthing's blocking it internally or somthing. (i dunno) Also if the car's off I can put it into gear start it up and drive in that gear. But I cant switch into any other gear. Anyone know that the problem could be. I bleed the clutch 500 times and it has alot of pressure on it, for sure not any air in the line. I dont know im just burned out. I have a badass turbo kit also waiting to go on. Let me know guy's if youve ever experienced anything like this and what you had to do to fix it. Thanks in advance.! -Nick

 

Your clutch is bad. Did you take it off when you replaced the tranny? If not take it out and see.

 

sounds just like the problem my Rx7 had...
a bad pilot bearing. (the one thats installed from the backside of the flywheel)
Basically whats happening is that bearing is bad and not allowing your clutch disc to slow down and stop when you push the clutch pedal in. Becuase its not slowing down it gives the same feeling as if you were trying to slam your car into any gear with the car idling and with NOT pushing in the clutch.
Does the car go into any gears with the engine off? If so, chances are, its your pilot bearing. Also check your clutch fork to see if its bent and check your master cylinder to see if its actually pushing the clutch fork. Even though you might have good pedal pressure, invite a freind over to come and watch to see if its activating..
After all, the extreme act pressure plate does have some hardcore pedal pressures, could have cuased your master or slave cylinders to fail. Check your fork too and get a buddy to verify that your **** is even functioning!!!!
PS, ive f---cked up enough trannies to know whats going wrong with them, hahaha.
AND check your clutch disc while your at it, jst becuase its new doesnt mean it cant fail in a short period of time. A broken disc will also give you the same problems as i stated above...

 

Hows the clutch pedal feel?
Mayby you bent your clutch fork.

 

figure anything out?

 

You should have inspected the clutch while the tranny was off. Sounds to me like one of the straps broke in your pressure plate. This cause parts of the plate to no release properly. Not postive on this but its your clutch obviously. Take it apart again and look it over.

 

well sorry havent posted here in while just been busy trying to get the problem fixed. I noted on hmt.com that it was my hub on my clutch disc. It should be here from act soon. Been waiting a week.
