Here is the issue I'm having.

Two weeks ago I installed a Quaife LSD into a 97 GSR transmission and today I installed it back on to my b16a motor. When I start the car and have the clutch ingaged everything is fine, but as soon as I let the clutch go, the car acts like it is in gear, when really it's in neutral. Every gear works fine except reveres. I cannot shift into reveres, so my question is where did I go wrong? I did the LSD install myself and it was my first time. I will be pulling the tranny out sometime this week and taking a look inside. I think my issue might be with the gear selector.

Any help would be appreciated!

sounds like when you put it back to gether you may have got the shift selector bound up/misaligned

 

Did you test spin the transmission before installing it? There is a washer that is easy to misalign that will lock the transmission.

Part 11 is the washer:


Your issue may be the gear selector. Always test spin by hand.

 

How do you properly align that washer? I did not test spin that transmission, if that washer was not set in it's proper place, would this prevent me for sping the transmission?

 

That washer will lock the transmission if it is not in the groove. Did you use a Helm manual during the rebuild?

 

Yes I did use a Helm manual, and I'm certain I put that washer in the groove on the transmission case. I think my issue might be with the gear selector or change holder ASSY #4 in the pic. I believe that has to be in a certain position when putting everything back together, correct me if I'm wrong?

 

i always put it into neutral when i assemble one. but ya #4 is what i was reffering to

How do you know when it is in neutral?

 

the selector is in the middle and all the slides are lined up

How do you know when it is in the middle though? Like how many positions can it be in? Sorry for all the question, i'm going to pull the transmission now.

 

Updated with pics!

 

looking at you pics, its in the same position i put mine in. idk?

 

Taking a further look at the transmission, i found that when I put it all back together the first time, I forgot to install the washer for the reverse idle gear. #7 in the picture, but i'm not sure if that's causing the issue? So I'm going to order that tomorrow from Acura.
