Car has only been driven on nice days since paint/turbo/tune

alright from the beginning...

i drove my integra to school today and on the way there when i let off the clutch the pedal would pop up and THEN i would feel like a click in my pedal.. everything was shifting fine.
once i got to school. i shut the car off for a while and when i went to start it again it would not under any circumstances go into gear.. at all. so my first thought was to check for leaks.. i found out that my clutch master cylinder was leaking a little. but not at all enough to cause a problem because there was still plenty of fluid in it. then i checked to slave cylinder. it was working just fine.. as i'd hoped because i just changed it at the end of last year.
SO i decided to change the master cylinder.. just in case and also adjust the pedal to as much possible pedal stoke i could have. SO i did all that and bled the clutch until my pedal was stiffer than i have EVER had it before.

so i went and started the car.. STILL wont go into any gear. at all. so i shut it off.. then i decided to call it a day and wait till tomorrow and change the slave again.. but before i left i wanted to try one more time.. i started it.. IT WORKED! went into every gear and drove forward and backward just fine.. so i thought i'd drive it around school to make sure. i got maybe 100 feet and now it wont go into gear again..

CLIFFS:
drove car to school and shut it off
came back later... wouldnt go into gear
changed master cylinder
drove 100 ft.. got the same problem again.

tommorrows task is to change the slave even though it shouldnt be that.. unless anyone has any input for me?? could this be a tranny problem?? clutch??

HELP
thanks

throwout bearing?

 

or clutch when i was on the freeway i went to down shift and wouldnt go into any gear pulled over turned it off started up went again 1st through 5 then tried to get into gear wouldnt let me

so

i got it home then the next day dropped the tranny and my clutch was out so i got a new one and works good

 

I'm 98% sure its your clutch. the spring(s) on the clutch popped out and they grab the press plate, thats why you can't shift. this happened to my brother's ls like year ago and on my intergra on the way back from h-t meet

 

^^ That's exactly what happened to my friend's car just awhile ago too, and he was experiencing the same thing you were also.

 

thank u all for the input. very helpful

 

^^^^
Same thing happened to me too. When I got the trans out, I could see that one of the springs had popped out of the pressure plate. All fixed now!

Doesn't sound like a hydraulic issue, so don't waste your time changing the slave cylinder.

Get a clutch kit -- these guys are great!

Actually those springs help with torsional vibration they don't move your pressure plate. your pressure plate, that thing in background of your photo, with all those little finger looking things, those are what holds your pressure plate against your clutch, your throwout bearing with the help of your hydraulic sys presses against those fingers moving your PP, engaging and disengaging the clutch.

As far as the cluthc prob, it prb your torsionsal spring was stopping the plate from moving. would say that it might be a problem with the bearing especially with the clicking sound. sounds like a bad bearing or a broken shifter fork too.

 

+1 on the clutch spring.

The broken spring problem seems all too common, I bought my Integra like that.

 

its not the shift fork because when the car is off i can work through all the gears.. last night i managed to start the car with the tranny in third gear and limp it home in third the whole way.. i have ordered and new clutch,flywheel,pressure plate, throwout and pilot bearing so when i get around to dropping the tranny and putting the new stuff in.. all will be better. thanks for the help

i'm going to say that too. it happened to me and i was experiencing the same problems you had.

 

yup thats pretty much exactly what happen to me!!!

 

so i take it that this is a common problem in the integras? can anyone verify this? and and specific model (ls,rs,gsr,itr) thanks guys...just worried about my ls...lol

 

it was on my ls!!!

 

happened on my brother's 95 ls

 

could be the clutch spring, or just bleeding of the clutch slave, give that a try before taking apart your tranny

 

Your clutch might not be lined up right

 

it happen to me befor so i would chec the throw out bearing, the clutch and dont forget to resurdace your flywheel

 

Bought my GSR like that. So it's not limited to LS's.
