ok today i took off my tranny because the flywheel was loose we tightened that up and tightened my clutch up and when we got done we put it all back together. then im leaving work about 20 minutes ago and the clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor, its the stock jdm b16a tranny and its cable my friend sudgested that it could be the return spring on the clutch release bearing? any other ideas why it might of messed up again? this car is my worst nightmare and i just wish it would run right

 

so im screwed i see lol

 

Have you looked at your cable to see if it is tightened?

 

same exact thing happend to me ... it was the spring on the release arm of the tranny. the first time the spring was broken ... then i installed it wrong when replacing it, and it worked fine for a week, then sank again .... if that is your problem, make sure you install it right ... make sure you look at one installed so you know its in right. i know i wish i did, woulda saved me 4 hours and 2 nice sized holes in drywall

 

the clutch fork was tight and had pressure on it and now it has no pressure and so we assume the spring is bad, the part that sucks is that i have taken off the tranny twice in the last 4 days

 

two holes in dry wall eh? i got so pissed at my car because the hood latch spring cable broke off i ripped the front end of my car off and then i freaking attacked my neighbors tree with a crow bar and basically destroyied it because we had just gotten the tranny put back on and now its gotta come back off to repair the spring, im so timpted to take it to the shop and be like fix it i dont wanna mess with it

 

ya cars can make ya happy and make ya mad, so much rage can build up from things not going right that you start cursing at anything or nothing.

 

i totally know what your talking about, i freakin killed a tree earlier, lol

 

hah i feel you on this one, last summer i ripped my tranny off 3 times in a week, with no power tools, that got really old, really quick and damn i was pissed, my fender slightly paid for it

 

One time driving on I-5 and i got of the freeway because my exhaust started sounding like it had a leak. It turned out the doughnut between the cat and header had burnt through at some point.
Well getting to the point, I tried getting back on I-5 and i could not shift from 1 gear into 2nd on the on ramp. So i pulled back over and i could feel the clutch pedal lost pressure and was resting near the floor. After looking at the clutch cable where it attaches to the tranny, I saw that somehow it was fully loose. After adjusting it normally, the tranny(J1) has been fine since. Maybe this is what happened...

Add me to the list. I didn't put the arms of the spring in the indentations on the fork, I realized that the clutch release arm wouldn't move AFTER we had the engine in the car and all hooked up. That day really sucked, we had to take the engine back out just to go back in for that spring.

 

well im out of school tommarow so it looks like the trans is coming back off to get a new spring this will be my third removal of the trans in a week, some luck eh
