'85 crx OBDI b16a xsi motor.

Ive been having some clutch problems which Ive narrowed down to the either the pressure plate or throwout bearing.

But now the car wont even turn over. I get one loud click from the starter and thats it.

Heres the thing. The car has ALWAYS started in neutral withOUT the clutch engaged so I have no clue as to why it wouldnt start now?

Any thoughts or explanations?

 

It is also rolling in all gears

Anyone have ANY insight?

 

I guess I titled this post poorly.

 

no one???

 

I WOULD say that your PP isnt releasing your clutch, causing the flywheel to not turn when the starter is engaging.

But you said it would start in Neutral. so Im at a lost. Can you push start it???

 

I think you are on the right track. I cant even try to push start it because Im on a hill and if it doesnt work I am royally fu**ed

 

Pressure plate?

u can try to push start it in reverse but u might end up at the bottom of the hill with no way up

Exactly and I really dont want that to happen. Anyone else with an idea on what it could be?

 

bump this up for g00nyg00nbrah1

 

I really don't know that much about it, but if its just making one loud clicking sound, it may actually be your starter.........?

 

He never had a problem with his starter until this clutch issue. So its highly unlikely, but a possibility. If his starter went the same time his clutch did, he should take four

 

Where u racing down the LIE when it happened?

 

I was doing some <U>spirited</U> driving when it happend, but it wasnt on the LIE. I hate the LIE.

 

well, u know what they say.... They say you deserve it whenever you blow your clutch <U>street racing </U>

 

lol, wasnt street racing though. Just riding along minding my own business.

 

lol, i wasnt making that assumption... just saying things happen at 10k rpms
