Hello HT,



I have a 2000 Gsr and my tranny or clutch is acting up. I was driving to the gas station and I was at a red light and I was trying to put my car in first gear but it wouldnt go.. I let it roll for a couple feet and tryd again but it was not getting into gear. So now the car only goes into gear when its turned off but when I try to start in First gear.. it just shakes and dies. Other than that in doesnt get in gear while its on ... The car is pretty much stock and I was not street racing.

If anyone knows anything about this or had similar problems.. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Anyone?

 

The clutch is not engaging correctly. The problem you're describing is similar to what I experienced when the clutch disc on my tranny failed. So the remedy would be to pick up a clutch kit and replace it. Dont continue trying to drive your car. You'll only be doing harm to the transmission components.

 

I assumed it was the clutch also... The car only has 60k miles. Thanks for the help.

 

60k miles is enough mileage for a clutch to go out.

 

Yah true but it was weird cuz the car was running totally fine.

 

try looking at your master cylinder. check if its leaking

 

I had a guy look at it today and he said the clutch is fine and that its not disengaging. it could be the pedal or cylinder.

 

We checked the fluids and pumped the clutch but still no go..

The clutch can go out on you at the most unexpected times. Everything could be running PERFECT, then drop into gear and BAM! next thing you know .... its out.

I was thinking the same way you are right now....I changed my master and slave....didn't remedy my problem. Finally pulled the tranny down and what do you know....clutch disc had cracks on the plate preventing the clutch from disengaging.
