I just purchased a 1993 Honda Civic EX and about a month what i thought the clutch went out it was actually the tranny so i replaced the tranny with a S20 tranny well i finished it up and what not then i start the car no plm well when i am in NEUTRAL i left off the clutch the car will die. and when i push in the gas and let off the clutch the car will go but slowly. when i am in 1st-5th and REVERSE i let off the clutch and push in the gas the car just stays cld it be something wrong with my shift linkage (what people are telling me) or is the tranny just bad? so confused cause when when when i got the tranny it spun good like no plm so i had no doubts the tranny was bad so if anyone can throw in there 2 cents let me know wld like to get it solved soon thx!

sounds like some how you put your linkage on wrong if thats even possible. when the clutch is in does it go into all the gears?

 

yeah i didnt think it was possible to put it on wrong... but it varies sometimes it will go in to all the gears when i step on the clutch sometimes it wont generally tho it wont go in to the gears tho...and if i put my linkage in wrong what can i do to fix it? it really only goes on one way so i didnt think i cld put it on wrong...any suggestions or ideas?

Adam

 

bump anyone?

 

Linkage is in the wrong position or was poorly installed.

 

could have wired somthing up wrong.

 

i dont think it wld be a wiring problem because the car stays on it just dies out in neutral when i release the clutch so I dunno and i dont see how i cld have wired something up wrong when i didnt cut any wires :/

fast95eg8: any ideas on to how it cld have been put in wrong? or any ideas on how i cld fix it...some people are telling me to just get a new shift linkage and it might solve it...thx

how cld i install it in the wrong position? lol the linkage will only bolt up one way what if i just unbolt it and wiggle it around wld that solve the plm?

Adam

 

cld there be a plm with my pilot bearing? by any chance?

Adam

 

bump

 

linkage will only go in one way thats not the problem. you need to describe the problem better, use full words, its hard to comprehend whats happening.

 

ok there really is only one way to describe it:

when it is in NEUTRAL I let off the clutch and dont push in the gas the car will stall...when the car is in 1st gear, 2nd gear, 3rd gear, 4th gear, 5th gear, or REVERSE I let off the clutch and push in the gas the car will sit there...BUT when the car is in NEUTRAL and I let off the clutch and push in the gas the car will move...is that explained better?

 

it might be possible that your throwout bearing isnt seated properly.

 

sounds like either the TOB is seized on the input shaft or not moving smoothly on it. just out of curiosity did you happen to do a clutch job or anything else while it was out???

 

yup yup replaced the clutch with an Exedy replacement and also resufaced the flywheel

it sounds like the tob isnt sliding, hows the clutch pedal feel??? normal, or a bit lower to the floor than before.
