I just put it in my 95 hatch about a week ago and it's already giving me problems. When I shift into gear it's kind of clunky, I have to push really hard for it to get into gear. Also, when I was driving today I was in second gear and it suddenly stopped accelerating, the engine was still revving, but it wasn't accelerating at all until I went into third. Does anyone have an idea of what this could be? Or is my tranny just a POS now?

 

Could it be my shifter? has this happened to anyone else?

 

No ideas? Anybody?!?

 

What shift linkage are you using?

 

b-series, I just replaced the clutch and changed the fluid before I swapped it in. I have no idea what's wrong with it, or if I need to get a new one?

 

Which B-series? '90 - '93 teg almost works, its a tiny bit short and causes engagment issues but it will bolt up IIRC.

 

It's from a 94 I believe. It's driving fine now but I'm super paranoid D=

 

Sounds a lot like a clutch issue to me honestly.

 

Is the clutch pedal soft or spongy?

 

i'd have to lean toward this too.

OP, does it go into gear smoothly and easily when going from neutral to first at a red light?

does it grind shifting at higher rpm??

 

It's not the clutch, the pedal's firm and I just bled the slave cylinder to double check. Sometimes it feels like it's slipping out of gear, and I can just push the shifter into place without my foot being on the clutch. I'm thinking it might be the shifter, but I'm not 100% on that.

 

Just because the clutch is new doesn't mean it isn't the clutch. When one of my springs popped out of my clutch disk, I had difficulty getting the transmission into gear at times. And the engine still revving with no accelleration is also a sign of a clutch going out.

 

Guess I'm taking off the tranny for a better look, I'll keep you guys posted, if you think of anything else it might be let me know.

 

I believe I've found the culprit... A broken off bolt for the pressure plate.

Idk how this slipped past me But I'm 90% sure this is the cause of my clutch problem. The springs seem pretty snug on there, everything else seems like it's in order but if you guys have any ideas let me know. I'm gonna fix the bolt and put everything back tomorrow after school, so I'll let you all know how that goes.

 

Sooooooo, fixed the broken bolts, checked my clutch, everything seemed fine, but it's still happening. Only when I'm on the interstate though, it's weird. I don't think it's my clutch because when it stops accelerating it's still in gear, I have to feather the gas pedal. I think it might be my throttle cable or maybe my fuel rail/injectors? If anyone has an idea PLEASE let me know, I go up for inspection next month and idk if this is going to hold me up or not.

 

did you find the bolt head?

my thought is it is the clutch. the bolt head is jammed in the friction material, and is causing the clutch to slip...

 

Yeah, I found the head. I don't think it's the clutch because when I lose acceleration Im still in gear I just have to take my foot of the gas and it'll accelerate again for maybe ten seconds

 

Bumb for ideas
