i made a post awhile ago, thinking i spun a main bearing.. but now my friend comes over, starts my car, it's making a rod knock noise.. but when you push the clutch it.. in goes away, and but when you try to rev it WITH the clutch IN, the noise comes back.. and if you try to get it into gear.. it doesn't want to go into gear, it just grinds.. would that be my clutch that went out? and what parts would i need to replace?

The tranny is a b17 cable tranny by the way.

This is an uninformed wild stab in the dark but maybe you've stripped some teeth?
Is it just 1st gear you cant get in? or is it all gears? Sorry if thats a stupid guess but its an idea.

 

all gears..

 

what happens when you start the car in first with clutch press in?

not sure, didn't wanna try. my dad's car is infront of mine. lol.. lemme see if i can move my car..

 

i just put the car in first, and started it. the car moved. with the clutch in. didn't let it out because i didn't feel like driving thru my yard.. what could this possibly be?

 

drain ur slave cylinder it mite not be engaging all the way. also while ur at it drain the tranny fluid and put in some synchromesh or honda MTF or any 10w 40 motor oil

It's nothing of that sort...it sounds like the plate is cracked, or liek stated above some cracked teeth.

 

had a similar prob. probably time for new clutch and flywheel

 

praying my tranny isn't fucked, just hoping it's the clutch and flywheel.. b17 tranny's are very hard to come by for cheap

hopefully it's just the clutch, b17 trannys are rare.. i need to find someone to drop my fkn tranny because i can't do it on my own.
