Alright so i took my first crack at replacing a isb. quite scared at opening up a tranny but eventualy i relised its super ****ing easy after a few trial and errors.

so yesterday i put the trans back in my hatch and hooked up everything and now when i try to start the car i get nothing

starter doesnt crank or anything.

BUT when i press the clutch down, try to start it, and it doesnt start. as i let up off the clutch i hear a clicking sound.

i think for somereason my car thinks the clutch isnt down therefor not letting the car start?

is is possible i maybe put the throwout bearing in wrong or something like that

any help would be great

thanks

 

HALP PLESE!!!!!

 

maybe the safety switch on the top of the clutch pedal is not aligned correctly?

 

but see i never messed with anything inside the car only the trans, linkage and save cylinder

 

still working on that bitch?

 

do u hav that wires on the starter hooked up properly

gotta have a wire direct from battery and the small wire from the key ignition to the solenoid on starter to activate it

 

yeah checked and double checked even had my dad check.

is there anyway that the Throwout bearing could have maybe jumped off the fork?

 

any help on this would kick *** i havent drove the ole girl in ages and i need some more vtec in my life

 

i dunno bro does the starter rotate at all when u turn key ignition

if not try and bypass it n just check if starter is good by running a wire long enough 2 reach starter from batt to hook 2 batt then touch the post on the solenoid 4 lick a sec if it kicks then put key in the on position and use that set up 2 turn the car on 2 make sure everything else works then u have to find out why no power is coming from the solenoid wire from the ignition

 

the car can still crank if your clutch isnt disengaging, people who do auto to manual swaps can bypass the clutch safety switch and start the car in netrual.

run wire from your battery to the starter to make sure it works.

battery may not have enough juice to crank, try another battery or jump it.

 

check to see if your tranny ground is on?

 

tranny ground!!!!!!!

EDIT: beat me to it

 

i love u guys soooo ****ing much thats the only thing that i forgot to connect....

i remeber my buddy telling me that it wouldent start if i dident connect some ground for the trans

imma go out to the garage and see if it does the trick

 

well that worked but now my car is making very bad sounds

horrible clunking sound when started.... maybe loose mount or something

 

omg bro where u live so i can smack u inda bac of yo head sounds like u left all kinds of s@#t disconnected

 

um i live @ 1293 STFU and GTFO drive in your a douchbag ville.

and i think its the throwout bearnig isnt on right

sounds horrible

 

lol i was jus messin with ya bro i hope u get it fixed and make sure to change the fluids and gear oil start fresh and make sure not 2 get oil on that clucth plate keep it dry i had 1 burn up that way b4

 

haha yeah thanks. i guess imma tear her down and open the trans back up and start from square one.

damn imma need some more rtv

 

if its the throw out dont take it apart locate the noise first it might b a miss alignd clucth

 

On my old 99 hatch, when the ISB failed and I pulled apart the trans, I also discovered the bearing on the opposite end of the same shaft had failed as well. The thing is, I wouldn't have discovered this until I gave that bearing a spin because it has a 'plastic gaurd' blocking your view of its insides.

Did you happen to check this bearing? Or when you pulled the gear cluster and saw that the ISB was shredded, concluded that that was the 'only' problem? It happens...
