Uh oh...I think you may have the same problem as me. Has your car ever gotten stuck in gear too???

I decided not to figure out the problem (tried changing the clutch master and slave cylinder...that didn't help.) I am getting an H22 swap for my car now.

I don't want to "TRY" to have it fixed and then find out after spending $700+ to have the clutch upgraded...that the clutch is not the problem.

Hope you don't have the same problem as me.

Look at my response in the thread;

Good luck. If it fixes your problem let me know. Either way, I am still going with the H22. I am just curious.

I just don't believe that it is the clutch because if the clutch was going out...it would have over time...not all of the sudden.

Are you going with an aftermarket clutch?? How much did they estimate the cost to change the clutch will be???

This exact thing happened to my friend's 89 RX-7. He could NOT get it into any gear except 4th, not even reverse. If he did get it into any other gear it would make a funky tinking sound.. and eventually even that quit. Ended up he ripped the teeth off two or 3 gears in his tranny some how, and bend the shift fork. Nice combo huh? heh
