hey guys i need your help i was driving my car on the highway and downshifted to fourth and i felt like the shiftlinkage fell off the shifter so i pulled over and saw that the bolt had came out so i put it back and started the car and it wouldnt go in to gear for anything when the car is off it goes in to gear when the car is on it will not go in to gear by the way its a b16 crx wit a j1 trans and a stage 4 clutch please help i am thinking its the clutch pressure plate or the tranny is bad

 

TTT please help guys

 

TTT i have no idea what this is and i cant drive my car cause it wont go in to gear when it is on but when i turn offf it goes in gear

 

i think it sounds like a bad clutch. check the clutch out and make sure your shift linkage is working properly (and isn't bent).

 

if it is bent will it still shift when the car is offf

 

the car kinda drops rpm and grinds if i try to put it in to gear when the car is on

 

adjust the clutch cable. just turn it one way till its easyer er.

 

it shifts when the car is off but when its on it wont shift, do you notice more vibration in your car after this problem, if so check out if your rear mount is off. same **** happend to me, i thought my trans was fucked but ended up being the rear mount.

 

what do you mean man???

 

question, do you have a motor swap? if so then the rear mount could be the problem. if you got the stock motor most likely the problem is somewhere else.

i checked the rear mount and it looks fin i am thinking its a clutch problem or pressure palte

 

could i have broke the dif??

 

i mean you guys dont know wtf happend or what went wrong i dono if i need a new tranny or clutch or what!! this never happened to anyone ??

 

like someone said above....check your rear mount to make sure its not broken ot loose or whatever.

 

rear mount is fine do you guy mean the integ bracket or the hassport mount??

 

dude just check em both......... can't hurt right?\

Tighten your clutch cable down, the threads on the inside of the adjuster could be stripped, not allowing the clutch to engage, and therefore shift smoothly, if at all.

 

sounds like ur clutch is not disingauging turn ur car off and try goign throught the gears if they go in then ur clutch is not put in properly or adjusted right.

If it does not then u got something internal fucked im for more info

 

(JDMCRX) i think the clutch is bad cause i adjusted it all the way the car goes in gear when off when on it wont

 

really unlikely to break your stock diff. my vote is for either the threads stripping on the clutch cable because of the heavy clutch, or pressure plate malfunction. my idiot friend put on the flywheel when i was at the parts store with the zc swap, flywheel was very close to coming off and doing gods knows what damage. proud to say i haven't touched a zc since. b16 yO!

 

but i still have feel in the clutch pedal that means that the cable isnt broke right??

 

um clutch cable is fins rear mount is fine i am still thinking its the clutch or pressure plate that is fucked up could it be i broke my DIF ?? i dono if i have to get a new clutch or a new tranny i would like to know soon so i can fix it but i have no idea what should i do ???

 

It also most has to be a clutch problem. The clutch is not disengaing when the pedal is pressed. i have had this happen when the clutch disc came apart. The shift linkage comming off is probalbly the result of excess vibration and not the root cause. Time to pull that puppy apart and have a look see.

 

IM me if your still having the problem, my friend had the EXACT same thing happen in his MR2, I can ask him what is was and let you know ifyou have not solved it yet

 

It almost has to be a clutch problem. The clutch is not disengaing when the pedal is pressed. i have had this happen when the clutch disc came apart.

i think it is the pressure plate or clutch can i use a act pressure plate with a stage 4 clutch clutchmaster?
