i was on my way to school this morning and right wen i go down the ramp onto the freeway.. i hear a knock.. like something is hitting in the engine.. so i pull to the side.. and try to put it back in gear and the clutch wont grab?

HELP ME

 

what did the pedal do? go straight to the floor??

 

nope.. its still up..its a brand new clutch.. less than 500mi. on it

 

anyone?..

 

help?.. pls

 

The clutch won't disengage? The shifter won't go into gear? Or the shifter will go into gear even without the clutch pedal depressed?

Knowing the symptoms can help us figure out if the clutch is not engaging, or is not disengaging.

 

im going to say maybe the pressure plate failed in some way. we need more details bro

 

i can put it in gear w/o having to push down the pedal..
im newb so i dont really know..

 

well ya you can with the car off....start the car up and tell us EXACTLY what it does.

My brother's car did the same thing - when the old clutch was completely worn down to nothing.

You've got a major issue if that's a new clutch. Did you get it all aligned properly w/ the clutch alignment tool and tighten the pressure plate down to the flywheel properly?

What has happened is that the clutch is not turning the transmission shafts like it should, so it's like you're moving the shifter with the clutch disengaged, even though you're not touching the pedal.

Whatever it is, you're going to have to drop the tranny again and check it out.

 

i start up the car.. put it in gear.. and let out the clutch.. but it doesnt grab nothing.. it juss revs the motor

 

i didnt install it.. so basically.. im gonna go to the mechanic who did it and ask em to check it over again..make sure he tightened everything properly..he did use the align tool tho..

thanks.. ill keep update..

 

have you replaced the passenger axle recently?
same thing happened to me.

my problem was that axle i was using was just an inch short, so when i took a left turn, the axle popped off from the tranny and didnt want to grab anymore.

 

yes.. the mech. put in a new axle on the passenger side

yeah, same thing happened to me.

idk if this is true, but somebody told me that i needed to get a 99-00 civic si passenger axle.

somebody chime in and tell me if i'm right.

 

thanks.. ima check it right now..

 

naw you need the axle for your car...90-93 integra but check the other one out.. it could have broke

 

i juss checked it.. its the passenger side axle..iono if its loose or wat.. i jacked up the front.. put it in gear.. went out and spun the passenger side wheel and i hear the axle rattling? is the axle too small or just loose?

 

ya sounds like you got the wrong axle. maybe to short.. autozone and other are nortorious for giving you the wrong axle.

 

you would thnik someone with over 20 000 posts would know that the transmission will not bolt up to the block if the clutch is not perfectly lined up

 

thanks guys..i really felt like throwing my car on craigslist and selling it
