How's it going gents.
Alright - last night, i was racing as i always do.

On the way to shifting to 4th gear, my gear kinda got stuck half way in gear - and my car revved to atleast 10,000 and stayed there until i got it out of the gear.

Here's the thing.

My car goes into gear when the car is off. Its hard getting into first when the car is off though.

When the car is running - i can't get it into first.......so i have to put it in first before i start the car.

I can shift, but its kinda difficult getting into gears. I have to rev match it before it will go in.

Since the clutch is working obviously - i'm going to rule out the master cylinder.
Since the clutch isn't stuck to the floor, i'm going to rule out the slave

I'm really thinking pressure plate or throwout bearing.

What does everyone else think?

Its driveable, barely.

Oh, the clutch is only a couple months old.
It was an xtd 6 puck ceramic w/pressure plate and what not.

I don't think its the tranny because i can get into gear fairly easily when the car is off. Just first gear is a bitch to get in.

 

Why are you ruling out the master cylinder? That would, I think, affect shifting into first whether the car is on or off.

 

it shifts into first when the car is off.

Its just hard to get it into first when the car is on - but its always like that with hondas. Have to be under 6mph i believe. If the master cylinder was bad, i don't think i would be able to shift at all - because it wouldn't pressurize the hydraulic system.

 

sounds like it may be the throw out bearing, or a related problem, i had the same problem, couldnt get into first, goes into first when off, wont go into gear when on, shutting car off and then putting into gear then starting car.... wasthe TOB
