i need help...after a few runs my tranny wont let me change gears...i shut the car off for a few minutes and its normal again but annoying i cant have a few runs and drive home normal...can it be my tranny's going bad or can it be the slave and master cylinder?? how will i know they are bad? i need your help...

 

What kind of tranny? If its a d series im betting that your shifter forks are bent.. or it could be your running low on fluid.

 

its a obd2 gsr and i put honda mtf and i just filled it up about a month ago...this only happens after i do a few races..it wont go in any gear...

 

have you checkd the fluid level? how about the clutch?


to me, sounds liek a clutch problem rather than a transmission problem.

 

but i just did a tranny fluid change about a month ago...i was thinking maybe a master cylinder and slave

 

so changing the clutch will most probably fix the problem?

 

It's clutch 100%

 

changing clutch is better than new tranny...what clutch do u reccomend for street and daily use..

 

lots of threads on good clutches... Im running a South Bend DXD F clutch.. thing is amazing.. Grabs hard and still has stock feel to the pedal.
Clutch is good for 450 Ftlbs of torqe

 

where did you order your clutch from?

 

any 12-13lbs flywheels out there...

 

hrmmm had a similar problem , check slave cylinder .... does the transmission make a noise when started , an annoying sound ????? .... if it does hold the clutch down and if the noise/sound goes away , its probably bad throwout bearing .... lmk how it goes goodluck

 

i will do so after i get out of work...i know changing a clutch takes a few hours but better than it actually being the tranny...

 

Before you start spending hundreds of dollars on a guess, why don't you check to see if:

1. The slave cylinder operates, with NO leaks
2. The master cylinder operates with NO leaks
3. There are no odd noises from the transmission
4. When the car gets to the point where you cannot shift, can you cylce through the gears with the engine off

 

the tranny doesnt make any noises and when the car is off it goes into every gear...

 

how much do gears cost?

 

I would say its the clutch. One time, during racing, a very very small piece of the clutch broke off and i couldn't shift into any gear, but then I could off and on. Another time, my throw bearing went out and I couldn't shift into any gear also. I would say, clutch or throw bearing from personal experience. But a bad throw bearing would make tons of crappy noise and you might see a little smoke from the friction somewhere around the bearing in the tranny.

 

cool im changing the clutch probably next week.

 

It's the clutch imo. A tranny problem is consistent.

 

I had a very similar prob. It ended up being a clutch spring had broken loose.

 

would that be why my tranny grinds 5? i can get it in 5th if i shift at low rpms....y would my 5th gear be fucked if i never powershift to it?

 

if you had a bad clutch it would effect shifting in all gears. difficulty shifting into 5 could be from a bad linkage, or a bad 5th/R fork.

 

yea i recently replaced my linkage and it started happening with the new linkage...

 

bushings, shifter, driver, shift fork... ONLY if the problem happens in 5/R

 

ill change all of that....new master cylinder,slave,fork,clutch and linkage...i have a skunk2 dual bend shortshifter...
