So im at a redlight, go to leave after it turned green an when i went to shift second, my tranny wouldnt come outta first.. I pulled over an tried everything an no matter what, it would not leave first.. Than i got it outta first, but now it only goes it first... I just picked up the tranny like 2 months ago, its a 95 si tranny out of the si hatch.. Just put pretty sick clutch kit an flywheel in an since than its been running perfect... Now all of a sudden out of no where, it does this... My friend said it could be shift fork bent maybe... So i took tranny off an everything an we're gonna check it out, just lookin for some opinions...

 

does the clutch still engage/disengage properly? i'm thinking that it may be the shift fork as well, sometimes but rarely they can get bent with the use of higher pressure plates, but usally the m/c goes out first.

 

well my ***** not ghetto one bit... fyi lol.... brand new cmc, brand new slave, brand new stage 3 act 6 puck with pressure plate, an 8.5lb fidanza flywheel.... so all my clutch components are brand new.. An yeah the clutch seems to have perfect pressure an work the same it just doesnt shift anywhere.... its like im locked outta all the gears except first...

 

what i mean to say earlier was the clutch fork not the shifter forks. if the shifter forks are bent then that could explain why you'd only be able to select 1st gear. only way to tell is a teardown of the transmission, but i'd do this as a last ditch effort if you could not diagnose it externally. have you check the shift linkage to see if that is possibly bent?

 

well yeah i finally got around to actually rippin it apart an its a good thing i did... BLAMMM 2 of the forks inside tranny were broke almost in half... but luckily i hung on to my DX tranny an we ripped that apart an foundout that the ones on there were the same part.... So im about half way done now be back with update...

 

ok well got everything back together, an its still not goin into gear??? maybe my differential has gone bad..?? is that possible..?? i found another tranny except this ones out of a single cam vtec del sol which is the y8 tranny right?? or before 95 did del sol use a z6 ?? anyways, got a new tranny that im gonna try out hopefully this one works an i can find out whats wrong with my old one...

 

bump ...
