So i have a 95 GSR. Right now my car doesnt want to go into gear when started, but goes in when its not started. but when i put it in gear and start it iit jumps, and wont come out of gear. i wanna know is it the tranny or did my clutch js broke. thanks

 

Sounds like your clutch disc or pressure plate took a dump.. might be time to pull the tranny

Just out of curiosity have you check the fluid in the clutch reservoir?

 

ya i had this problem like 3 weeks ago,its the clutch man,just get a clutch kit and replace that shiiiiet

 

Make sure your Hydro/clutch resavoir is topped

 

i just had athe same problem! pulled off tranny and the spring in my disk broke!!! whack *** clutch that the previous owner put in! but exedy and fidanza fixed everything!

 

ok that’s not your clutch. its your clutch master cylinder you have 2 f them one under by the trany which only cost like $30 and one under your clutch pedal which $100. %90 percent of the time its the main one under your clucth chenge it and you are good. If you find it and if you look at it you will c that master cylinder is covered by oil. I am positive abut this.

 

^^^^ don't listen to that. you'll replace all that sheit and still won't have a clutch. change your clutch and you will be back on the road...this is from experience.

 

This happen to me week ago. Is your clutch pedal all the way down?
I bought a clutch because every one was telling me its the clutch then I took it to my mechanic. he said its not the clutch and its was the master cylinder. Its worth a try you don’t wana end up pay 300 for a clutch for no reason.

 

You have no idea what your talking about. There is a MASTER cylinder on the firewall and a SLAVE cylinder on the transmission. The clutch is damaged, that is his problem.

 

The very first thing I'd check is the clutch master. It's very common for them to leak at the inner seal. A teltale sign is low fluid and/or fluid leaking inside the car on the other side of the master cyl. If it's that replace the master and slave. If the hydraulics are fine then get into the clutch disc and pressure plate.

 

although checking for fluid leaks is a good idea, most of the time this happens it's the clutch. if the search was working you'd see that there are a lot of threads talking about this issue and 99% of the time the clutch is gone.

 

$5 bucks says its a broken spring on the disc!

 

sorry for the late reply on all you guys. Im pretty sure its the spring too on the clutch because i have pressure on the clutch pedal and theres no leak not soever. but thanks guys. for help. im gonna take out the tranny soon. and replace the clutch. so i let you guys know but im pretty sure its the clutch spring too. so somone pay his 5 bucks lol

 

sheit i had this problem happen to me today.. my car would'nt go into gear with the engine on, but when i turned off the engine it would go into gear..im thinking it's the clutch m.c. cause i took it to the dealer a year ago and they noticed it was leaking. if it is the clutch m.c. can i just replace the seal, or do i have to replace the whole unit. also would i have to change the slave?? im hoping it's this and not the clutch..

 

Actually you're wrong. It can be related to a clutch master cylinder failure, slave cylinder failure, or a clutch pedal that's out of adjustment. If one of the issues I mentioned is present, the pressure plate will not relase the clutch disk. This may be why the OP can't shift into gear when the engine is running.

 

just looked under the dash today, and the c.m.c. is leaking..anybody know if the exedy c.m.c.'s on ebay are any good??

 

check your clutch master cyl. Climb under your dash with a light and find you clutch master see if its leaking. Pull the boot back and look for a lot of fluid leaking you'll know. Check your level then check the slave cyl. If those are bad then your clutch is bad. Either 1 worn our or 2 if its a sprung clutch you may have a clutch spring that broke out and it is impeding the pressure plate from dis-engaging the clutch disk

 

Just go OEM Nissin. You can get them online around 120. Try Curry Acura parts. They have free shipping. You can probably get it shipped sonner for a small shipping fee.

Btw you should make sure the pedal is adjusted correctly after replacing the master cylinder.

 

turns out a piece of the clutch disk broke off causing me not to get into gear. if you have this problem fix it fast, cause i drove it around like this for a week (trying to jam it into gear occasionaly) and now i think i put some wear and tear on some synchro's. my shifting feels notchier.. sheeeit!

 

wow this thing was brought back from the dead LOL

 

i kno i couldnt resist, lol

 

ok so there is no pressure on my clutch pedal, I remember driving it before and could feel pressure when I press down on the clutch and now there is no pressure, Is that my c.m.c? Or is that my clutch because I just ordered a clutch in
