So today I was driving my 94 Integra 4dr that WAS a auto but switched to manual from previous owner. I had the car for a good year now and this has never happened before. (Still noob) When I hold down clutch..it's gettin REAL hard to shift into gear. I mean..Tough! BUT When the car is off.. i can still shift it fine..even when i hold down clutch (When the car is off). Any help will do. Please help HT!

 

Bump! Anyone got any help of what it might be?

 

Check your CLUTCH FLUID........

 

Need to see how much your slave cylinder is moving when you press the clutch down if your not getting much travel then it is possibly a bad master cylinder by passing fluid or a bad slave cylinder

 

definitely check fluid level.
is it hard getting out of gear as well as into?
also, check the slave mounting bolts. could be loose. longshot, but possible

 

Yeah..hard to get into gear...and hard to get out as well

 

k try this. with the engine off, put in first. with the clutch pedal still depressed, start the engine. does the vehicle lurch forward with the pedal depressed?

 

bad master cylinder has nothing to do with it... master cylinder is brakes slaves cylinder is clutch

 

^^clutch master cylinder?

 

Yeah, just tested it. It went forward with the cluctch depressed.

 

Isn't the clutch master cly mounted on the firewall and the slave cly on the front of the transmission and yes I was talking about the clutch master cly since you are having clutch problems but will be more specific next time

 

Does the pedal come up on its own after pressing it down or do you have to pull it up with your foot or hand?

 

Sounds like a bad clutch to me, but check the level and the slave cylinder travel as stated.

 

Also there is a adjustment on the push rod for the clutch master cly at the top of your clutch pedal make sure that the lock nut is still tight. Have seen these be loose and the adjustment rod be screwed all the way in inturn dosent all the push rod to travel through the clutch master cly as it should so it dosent build enough pressure to work the slave cly. Just something to check!

 

Easier to check the travel on the slave cylinder than try to get upside down under your dash haha

 

Your right slacker93eg but if their isn't enough travel on the slave cyl then that's one thing to check before replacing any parts. Lol

 

alright. so the clutch is not disengaging. possibly a separated clutch disc. since you said this just started happening out of the blue, i don't believe it has anything to do with the pushrod.

regardless, you're going to need to pull the tranny to see what's going on in there
