Icon6 eG WITH B16a transmission wont engage???

I have a 95 civic hatchback with a b16a swap? For some reason my transmisson isnt engaging when i release the clutch... I still have the same pressure on my clutch as before this happened.... When its in gear and i release the clutch and give it gas the speedometer still moves as if i was driving... i thought it was the pressure plate but now not so sure.... any info would be greatly appreciated?!?!?!?!!?!!?!

If the clutch pedal feels the same, and your speedometer is still acting like your car is driving normally, it's either an axle problem or a transmission problem. Check your axles.

If it was the pressure plate, your speedometer wouldn't be reading anything. If it was the diff, same deal. The VSS reads off the transmission - if the tranny isn't spinning, your speedo wouldn't be rolling.

You just replaced the axle, then this problem started? Or did the car work fine afterwards, then this started? I would still double check your axles.

Axle probably isn't in all the way, or popped back out. Had this issue before.

this happened then i realized the axle was messed up.... so i replaced the axle n it didnt fix a thing... if the axles weren't in correctly it would be leaking transmission fluid and its not

It wouldn't necessarily be leaking transmission fluid. Are the CV joints FLUSH with the transmission?

If the axels arent in all the way this will happen period.
They dont necessarilly leak... they just wont engage.
Check them again just like JPB said.

By "the axle was messed up", what exactly do you mean?

What he said and several of the other members said. Most likely your axles are not all the way in.
