so i jus swapped in a ls into my std hatch
wen i was goin for my first ride it would go into gear but it would not move?

i have no idea wat is wrong.any ideas

any help would be really appreciated

thanks

 

yeah make sure both axles are all the way in if they are even out just alittle it can cuase the car to not move... check your axles first and let me know... you did say it does go into gear right?

 

Are you sure you have the cv axles stabbed all the way in?

 

ya it does .ima check right now

 

do have a hydro tranz

 

wut do dat haz due wit anythen?

 

if i had the driver and the passenger axles mixed up would it matter?

 

indeed it would

 

alright cuz the passenger side axle slips out

 

indeed it would buuut i dont see that being possible....the drivers side axle isnt even long enough to reach the hub on the passenger side. you do have a halfshaft in this equation somewheres right??

 

yeah man they only go one way..

 

haha ya i do.there was a metal ring around the end of the axle where it goes into the tranny,i took it off bcuz thats the only way it would completely go in,is that my problem?

 

some people forget to bleed the clutch!

 

pinch that ring and click up in there ,cuz without it ur axle will slip out on turnz and dump your tranz oil! bet your cruzin ls happy hah!

 

METAL RING?? wtf? theres the dust cover on the hub side that needs to come off..but its not on the axle and def not near the trans side

 

even if it was a hydro trans and he also had the hydro conversion with the slave cylinder, lines, etc, (not very common route anyway on these cars) he already said he was able to get it into gear. when you press down the clutch pedal it moves the shift fork to release the clutch. so if he had a hydro setup and this was his problem, the engine would be constantly connected to the trans and he would be having the opposite of the problems he is describing.

op: put the metal snap ring back on to the end of the axle and slide it back into the trans. it can be tricky getting it seated but all you need to do is put some *** into it lol.

 

alright thanks for all the help

ill see how things go

 

-_-
:facepalm:
:shakinghead:

He's not talking about the hub side - clearly he stated the tranny side.
He's talking about the the spring clip that locks the axle into the tranny.

 

alright i put the clip back on and it seems to have solved my problem
thanks!!!
