I recently replaced the y7 motor in my crx with a sohc zc
I used the flywheel clutch disc and pressure plate from my crx along with the 91 si tranz
Everything worked when it was on the y7
But on the zc my car doesn't die when u put it in any gear and let of the clutch and gas. It just stays running.
I can shift threw all gears fine with no grinds or anything.
If I start the car in first it doesn't jerk or anything.
Any help?
Thanks!

 

Please help

 

is your clutch cable adjusted too tight?

 

Possible. Is that flywheel compatible with the ZC? Clutch is tranny, flywheel is motor, right? You do have axles right?

 

The cable adjustment makes no difference. I can adjust it tight as a I want. And I can even loosen it and take the cable all the way off. No difference car still runs in gear.
I took the y7 flywheel and put it on the zc so I'm wondering if they are compatible or not. And the axles were from my last motor. But I don't think an axle would make my car run in gear either.

 

Since you used the same trans, flywheel, and clutch from your last motor, then you obviously have the correct parts.

You would have to have left out the clutch disc, severely broke the disc, broke all the springs off the plate in order to not even get a noise from the clutch when you run the engine.

If the clutch fork is STUCK pressing down on the clutch plate, then you could be staying disengaged.

If the transmission catastrophically broke internally then your axles won't spin.

If your axles are not engaged into the differential or the wheel hubs then the won't spin.


What would I do? I would put the front end up on jack stands. In neutral, you should be able to spin either wheel and the other wheel will then spin the opposite direction (unless you have an LSD whereas it would then spin the same direction).
If the opposite wheel doesn't spin then inspect the axles and make sure they aren't snapped. Make sure they spin when you spin the wheels. Remove the axles and take look into the holes. When you turn the engine over in gear, the diff gears should turn.
If not, then the tranny has to come off any way you look at it.

 

The wheels don't spin. And I think it's flywheel related does anyone know if the y7 flywheel sticks out further?

 

Shouldn't be a flywheel causing the issue. Does it feel normal when you press in the clutch and release it?

It sounds to me like you have an axle thats not all the way in or something to that nature.

 

Clutch feels good. And why would an axle make my car run in gear

 

Jacked up and the wheels do not spin when you turn them with your HAND?

 

Oh. Then they do the axles also spin when I spin the motor with the crankpully bolt. But when I'm up in the area and the car is in first and I give it gas they don't spin. And when I don't give it gas the car doesn't die. It just stays running in any gear

 

"he axles also spin when I spin the motor with the crankpully bolt"
but (still with the front up in the air) the wheels do NOT spin when the engine is running?

That's really not possible.
The only difference there is that you are turning the crank with your hand in one scenario and the other scenario the crank it turning under power of the motor. either way the crank is turning.

 

they only spin a very little with the motor on. And my car still stays runnin with the car in gear
