i was messing around with my new car which is 93 eg coupe that has in a b18c5 swap.... i need some help right away...... the car can go into gear without holding the clutch down....the clutch does have the same pressure as usual... when i do put it in gear and let off the clutch, you hear a noise, some grinding / rubbing, but car won't go anywhere ...it has an exedy stage 1 clutch...idk if it's the clutch, i think it's the drive shaft, or the cv joint connection....but someone tell me what to check for to know whats the problem..... i just hope it's not something crazy serious.....helllppp

 

it could be a few things man, either your clutch is out or you just need a new friction plate, or the trannys gone bad, but im not really sure

 

none of that....i just looked at it...i can spin the axle on the passengers side with my hand....what do you guys think i'll need as far as parts?

 

I think ur tranny is locked, when you turned the wheel by hand was the car in gear?

 

not the wheel....i turned the axle, that connects to the passenger side wheel.....the car was on the ground....and it wasn't in gear

 

i just took off the wheel.... the cv joint is broken, but i still have a question.....if it is broken isn't the car supposed to be able to drive still?....i tried moving, but i hear grinding.....and when i have the car on, the axle spins, even while the clutch is pressed

 

is not going to go nowhere with a broken axle just replace it you should be fine.

 

I bet you grinded the teath on the axle and it wont catch on the flywheal happened to me go get new ones not autozone or napa refurbished ones! rising sun autoparts! if theres one around you

 

thanks for the help guys....alot

 

It also could be that the axle popped out of the transmission. There is a clip on the end of the shaft that "clicks" into the tranny to hold it in place. If the axle has been removed and put back in before, the clip might be too small. It has a slit in it, just open the gap back up with a screwdriver and it should be good to go. I had it happen, right after I put a clutch in my 93 SI hatchback and was left on the side of the road.

 

this happen to me before your best of buying a new axle and take off the broken axle then put the new one on

 

alright guys....i changed out the axle, put in a oem integra type r axle....now...i tried driving, it goes, but while acclerating, it feels like something is losing grip on something, the car suddenly has no power, then after a couple seconds, the car has power again....idk if it's the clutch, my guess is that the hub is done for, or that the drive shaft isn't in properly, help...again

 

i just put in a new axle...it catches, then feels like it release'
