i replaced the clutch and put everything back together, but the car wont even move (pushed) when in neutral, the gears feel not secure when i shift and the clutch petal feels slightly weak.
what could cause this? i didn’t get the bellhousing 100% to the engine (the bottom is flush but the top there is about 1-2mm gap) could that be the problem?
also if the car is in neutral shouldn’t this have nothing to do with the clutch area, therefore maybe the driveshaft is out of align?
please help soon, i want to drive my car home tonight!
ya u must not have aligned ur gearbox proporly… did you take off the clutch line? you will need to bleed that if you let air in it, unless you were smart and took the whole slave off the gearbox. You have to get the tranny all the way in proporly like it was before man!! Lol… even a bit off and the clutch will fry itself!
are u sure ur brakes aren’t just seized or something? i think u need to just take it out, make sure its lined up and exactly as it was before u took it apart, TQ evertying to spec and it will be fine.
if u have the transmission not on all the way there could be weighjt sitting on ur input shaft, which would stop u(i think), main thing is u better hope u didnt bend the input shaft ir ur hosed.
i have another transmission sitting next to my car in case i fucked it up, but i have the transmission firmly attached and flush to the engine and i am still not able to shift firmly, i have removed the driveshaft and still nothing, i might put a piece of driveshaft i have into the trans and just torque it really hard and see what happens.
i got the tranny off … again … and i noticed that the fork kinda fell off the carrier, also the carrier gets mysteriously snagged onto the inputshaft, should i remove it and sand down the input shaft? and could that have caused my problem?
well now that it’s off i mindaswell, realign the clutch, unsnag the carrier and realign the fork. hope it works.
only problem is that i can’t work again on my car until friday.
i had a problem similar to this on the jeep, the clutch wasn’t aligned perfectly, and when i had the tranny attached it would shift, had to take the hole engine out and re-do the clutch, after that, it worked fine.
I took off the clutch and re aligned it, put everything back together, re-beld the slavecylinder, and the same thing happened!!!
when i looked at the clutch, it looked like the input shaft had flattened the teeth, like it didn’t slide in just put pressure on the side.
the weird thing is that if i loosed 5 of the bottom bellhousing bolts i can put the car in neutral and roll it, but once the car is on i cannot.
all i can think of doing right now is putting the car in first before i start her, and drive her around and see if that sinks in the clutch, but i dont want to damage anything in doing so.
so when u loosen the bottom 5 bolts does the tranny tilt up or something? it must not be aligning right. and theres no way one of the 5 bolts could be binding against anything right? its been so long since ive been under my car i cant remember, not to mention ive never seen an sr’s tranny.
i’m not totally sure, my car is in hamilton and my school is in waterloo so i can’t go check, i do think it is an alignment problem but i don’t know if it is external or internal.
now just so i know, if i can get the engine flush with the transmission can i assume the input shaft is in the clutch disc?
Yeah Racer, you realize that it might be double the mileage they claim right?
I wonder if you can use it against the engine supplier when you order a front clip. They lower the price if the dash reads more than their, hopefully, guaranteed less-than-50K engine.
