hey guys..recently replaced clutch. put about 50 miles on it. as i was driving i switched to 2nd gear, the gear grinded and i was unable to accelerate. i did not beat the car, just normal shifting and throttle. the car goes into gear, and the speedo works as if i were moving, but the car goes nowhere. any ideas? oh yes. i jacked up the car to see if i could spot a problem, and as the car lifted oil started leaking out the drivers side axle. 1990 honda cvic dx.

 

bump

 

Issues with any of the other gears? Did you DECELERATE when you were in second? And why did you bump when you hadn't fallen off the page yet

 

all the gear including reverse engage. when i let the cluthc go in second i wasnt accelerating...and cuz today was my first day with my license...and i cant even drive it :'( lol

 

Well be more specific, not accelerating as in constant velocity, or not accelerating as in feels like you're in neutral and are coasting?

 

ok exact story. in thrid gear, downshifted into 2nd gear, let go of clutch slowly so the car didnt bog. i gave gas but i kept coasting. same thing with all gear. and the car lets me go into any gear without pressing the clutch.

 

sounds like you need to adjust the **** under the hood,,sometimes you have to do that after going from a worn out piece of **** to a brand new meaty clutch..

well try that atleast 1st since its the easiest thing to do

 

would the clutch have grabbed worked for a while then stopped? ...what about the speedo moving when the car was in gear. i really hope adjusting the cable is my solution.

 

you never know if the previous owner may have adjusted the clutch because it was starting wear,,then when you put in a brand new one the setting/engagement is all screwed up...

about the speedo that's weird. all i can say now is check for full insertion on both ends

 

ok thanks for the help. my speedo isnt is full working order. kinda half-*** plugged in, works sometimes then doesnt. i suspect it being and axle not all the way in. or hopefully just he cable.

 

UPDATE: so yea...the axle just need to be pushed back in. i should get new ones soo, the where and tear is taking its toll. quick question, are there any pins that hold our axles in place anywhere?

 

Its a ring inside the trans. You should feel it click... you might even hear it... that way you know its all the way it.
