whats going on guys. i have a problem, i went out last night to have a little fun in the snow , and i stop the car and all of a sudden my tranny wont let me go into any gear. i turn the car off and the tranny goes into gear but when i go to start the car it starts to roll and wont go into gear again... any ideas? thanks

 

hmm, id start by checking your clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder

 

This happend to me once, except there was a long trail of tranny fluid leading up to where I was sitting.

******* around in the snow FTL

 

no way, ******* around in the snow is a ton of fun!! especially in empty (mall) parking lots.

It was a ton of fun until the car decide to crap out on me. It was just a beater, so I smashed the gears til I got home.

OP: Anytime you are having trouble with the tranny, the first thing to check is fluid level/age.

 

Thanx again guys

 

not too convenient to chekc fluid level on manual when ur in the snow... unless there is some kinda manual tranny dipstick kit i dont know about, if thats the case PLEASE F-ING TELL ME.

Anyway, if u have some space infront of you or behind you, with the car off, put it in gear, then clutch in and try to start, if it moves its a clutch issue, not sure about car codes, so i dont know if EG is cable or hydraulic clutch..

 

wow... that suck man, hope you get it fix soon. because your missing out on the snow

 

Yes all EG 5-speed engines have hydraulic clutches and no tranny dipsticks.

OP: Does your clutch pedal feel any different?

 

No my clutch moves perfectly fine. i told a friend of mine the same thing and he told me that the clutch is not disengaging from the flywheel

 

Clutch disc has more than likely come apart and pieces have jammed the clutch disc (whats left of it) against the flywheel

Sounds like you speak from experience.

Just playing.

 

i took advice and checked for any eaks and so far so good, picking up a new clutch soon hopefully that will fix the problem , and i'm back on the road because walking sucks!!

 

if the clutch truly is fudged, take some damage pics

 

The PP might have cracked or broke a spring...yes, hopefully the new clutch will do.

 

i also had a similar clutch problem but i had broken every spring in the clutch disk....

 

this thread made me feel alot better about my car. im going to take my tranny out 2marrow and inspect the clutch.

btw i drive a 94dx coupe..

 

Sounds like a clutch, or possibly broken shifter forks.
