I have a transmission question, I did a d15b VTEC swap on my 91 dx hatch. I used my dx tranny with the same yr. (90-91) si flywheel, pressure plate, and clutch. When I start my car I obviously have to push the clutch all the way down to the floor to start it, But here is the problem, when I put it into gear it just takes off!, even with the clutch all the way to the ground!

My clutch was working fine on the old engine, with no problems. WTF???? is going on I have my clutch cable adjusted fine I can't find any problems. Other info: The New motor (d15b VTEC) had a auto tranny on it, and i used a clutch alignment tool to put the new flywheel, pressure plate, and clutch disc back in. Any knowledge on this would help my *** alot!!!! Thanks.

 

You're Stupid.

Kidding. But you asked for it.


What do you mean it takes off?

Like the car tries to move forward or what?

 

Yeah it just starts to drive, even with my foot all the way down to the ground with the clutch pedal. I have to rip it out of the gear and put it into neutral to stop it!

 

check to make sure you put the cable back on and if you did put that on did you adjust it?

 

adjust your clutch cable

 

Yeah I thought I adjusted it. It seems like it still does it? Could this be a bad throw out?

 

could be backwards

 

What my throw out, could be?

 

I think he meant that you could be adjusting your clutch cable "backwards" aka the wrong way.

 

adjust the clutch more the cable should be very tight and pulling up on the lever, there should be no slack,

 

Thanks I will try that in the morning, and i will let you know.

 

But if it isn't adjusted right, why do I still have to push the pedal all the way to the ground to start it?

 

There is a switch on the end of the clutch cable. Also check to see if the cable didnt come off of the pedal.

 

"There is a switch on the end of the clutch cable. Also check to see if the cable didnt come off of the pedal."


It didn't come off, cuz when I press the pedal down the cable pulls up. And a switch what kind of switch?, is it the lever with the little box on it that the cable pulls up?

Actually this is incorrect. There is switch with normally open contacts located at the clutch PEDAL assembly. When you press your clutch ALL the way DOWN, it pushes this normally open switch to the "closed" position, allowing the vehicle to start.

This is an electronic safety circuit and has no bearing on whether your clutch is adjusted properly or not. That is an independent problem.

 

Thanks Command!

 

Adjusting was all it needed, thanks for the help!
