I pressed the clutch in at about 6500RPM on my B18b and my car stopped going into any gears. When I finally did grind it into a gear, even with the clutch pedal to the floor, the car would accelerate. Knowing there was a serious problem, I had it towed to a local shop and had the clutch replaced, by their recommendations. (The throwout bearing looked a bit damaged).

Afterwards, when I was driving home, it would go into all the gears, but every gear felt like neutral. The RPMs would climb, but I wasn't going anywhere. Again, I had it towed to the shop.

What would cause something like this? I would rather not buy a new tranny and pay labor all over again.

Thank You.

 

sounds like they did a crappy job on the clutch install. "Warranty" time. The bearing wouldn't stop the car from engaging.

 

clutch slipp

 

Possibly popped out an axle?

 

From what I have heard from a couple members, it seems maybe the spring on the release fork got knocked loose while the casing was put on... either that or the release bearing popped off the fork, or the spring under the fork got knocked off...

I'll keep you posted, my car is still at the shop.
