I just did a clutch job on my h22 civic. I alligned the new clutch and torqued everything to spec. When the car is off it goes through all the gears no problem but when the car is on it wont go into any gear. If I put the car in first gear then start it sounds like a bad grinding sound sort of like spun bearing so im gussimg the clutch is partially engaging. My question is if I replace a stock clutch with a 6 puck do I have to adjust clutch pedal? Also I read on another thread of people having to put spacers on there slave cylinder if anyonw had this problem how did u solve it. Thanks in advance

 

With the vehicle off, can you look through the inspection plate (if you have one) and determine how far the throw out bearing is from the fingers on the pressure plate. Post back. It should be about 1/32" from touching the fingers. The throw out bearing should not be touching the fingers while not engaged, and should barely clear them...

 

You more than likely need to adjust your clutch petal as well.

 

How do I adjust the clutch petal

 

Did you check the clearance?

 

I adjusted the pedal and still nothing. But if I start the car in first n let go of the ebrake the car moves forqard while im still holding the clutch pedal down

 

Clearance for what

 

On the D series 5th gen civic, the inspection plate only gives view of the flywheel. Can't see anything else unfortunately.

Also if it's a hydro tranny there is no adjustment, it self calibrates.

Messing with the peddle itself is only going to make matters worse as far as I know.

 

I had a similar issue, but mine happened because my slave cylinder went out. My car wouldn't go into gear unless the car was off. I turned on my car with first gear engaged and my car moved forward a little bit and stalled. Are the slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder good? How's the clutch feel? I ended up fixing my issue by changing the slave cylinder and adjusting the clutch pedal

 

I replaced my slave n master less than a year ago so im assuming they are good and the clutch feels normal. It feels like it did before I changed the clutch and I adjusted the pedal but nothing I turned the fork to the outer most position and still does the same thing

 

To me that indicates that your clutch linkage needs to be adjusted and that it is not fully disengaging - T/O bearing/linkage needs to be adjusted for more travel...

 

Ok, since you don't have an inspection plate, how far do you have to push the pedal before you feel the t/o hit the fingers? Any pedal slop?

 

Clearance between the t/o bearing face and clutch pp fingers. Since you don't have an inspection plate to visibly see this, its a moot point...

 

Ok, strike that, looks like your clutch self adjusts. how is your pedal height?

 

Have you checked your slave cylinder push rod is moving when you step on the clutch or holding the release lever from moving back all the way?

 

Alright im assuming its the throwout bearing cuz the clutch fork has alot of play in it and seems like its not engaging the to bearing gunna drop the trans tomorrow

 

Does this thread help? https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/clutch-fork-tranny-very-loose-3146812/

 

Definitely not broken but im guessing the fork came loose during install not letting the throw out bearing relase xlutch

 

Soi checked my fork and it is engaging the pressure plate I jacked the front of the car up and started it in first gear this time I was able to go through all the gears but I didnt have the clutch pushed in. It was shifting through gears without having to puah the clutch pedal

 

Any ideas all the threads I read say they fixed the problem but dont say how

 

Your clutch either wasn't installed correctly, or your fluid system wasn't bled correctly. Did you remove the slave cylinder from the transmission, or did you remove the line from the slave?
