Hey guys and gals

So I got a 97 civic coupe so this recently started happening . It's hard to put it in 1st gear like I would have to jam it in there for it to go in and sometimes same with 2nd also.. reverse will grind at times but all this will only happen when i drive it for a lil while and when car gets hot, Like when car is cold it will shift smother and its alot easier to put in 1st gear and reverse will not grind. What could this be ? My clutch slave cylinder ? 1/2 sleeve ? Btw i put in a fairly new clutch in about 2 weeks ago or less

 

BTW all the other gears will shift normal besides 1st and second is a lil harder to put in but not that much but rest are normal

 

Did you put in a clutch kit with throw out bearing etc? Or just a clutch?

 

Did you put in enough fluid?

 

Of course all the other gears will go smoothly. Did you try to bleed the pedal?

 

I didnt put in any fluid

 

clutch and pressure plate

 

In your transmission?

 

Hamza - Drain the transmission fluid and refill with genuine Honda MTF. Then go from there.

 

You did a job that necessitates draining at least a little bit of fluid, and you didn't put any fluid back in? Do you understand how car lubricants work?

 

I didnt need to drain any fluid at all sir just replace clutch and pressure plate and I was set

 

And no TOB

 

yes throw out bearing as well lol sorry didnt say that

 

Ummm...how is this possible given that you must remove the axles from the differential to drop the transmission? If no MTF leaked out, then your transmission might not have any MTF in it.

 

Didnt drain ****





The drain pan was there but didnt drain anything on to it i really didnt need to

 

Hamza, there's probably no MTF in the transmission. Remove the fill plug and stick your finger in the hole.

 

With the position the transmission is in that pic and there is no fluid leaking out... You probably barely have any fluid in it. Or any at all.

 

 

 

Sigh...moving on. The tranny probably on its way out.
