transmission/clutch problem. really strange

[ryan yco]

ok i just got a transmission swap done and fore some reason the clutch wont engage i can start the car shift and i never have to push in the clutch.and it is a brand new clutch kit. the clutch never grabs, so the car also doesnt move. so pm me with any possible info.

[william_jeff]

that sounds like when my clutch was fried

but you have a new clutch kit

i dont know what to tell you homie

[2.0civic]

interesting...you had a auto to manual swap done or what?

[EmminoDaGreat]

Try to adjust the pedal.

[Benefit]

did you bleed your slave?

[Vteckidd]

when you push the clutch in, check to see if the release fork is moving. if its not , bleed the system and adjust the pedal

Why not take it back to who did the swap before having to deal with it yourself? :thinking:

why do you have to be so rude about it?
he was asking the question in the general tech section. who knows it could be a simple fix that people on here have had experience with.
after all isn't that what this section is made for, general tech?

Obviously he didn't do the swap himself because he said, "just got a transmission swap done"...so why on earth does he have to FIX something that is a direct result of what they have already done???

like i said, the man came on here to ask for some help, it could be an easy fix so he doesn't have to tow his car all the way back to the ppl and have it at their shop or whatever for a longer period of time. it could be easy as bleeding it! and as stated before this is the general tech section, this is what its made for.

[d16_turbo]

check the bolts that hold the pressure plate to the flywheel

yeah i see what your saying. i was just saying it might be an easy fix so he can get the thing running sooner and with less trouble :goodjob:

yeah i see what your saying. i was just saying it might be an easy fix so he can get the thing running sooner and with less trouble :goodjob:obviously for the regular or weekend car mechanic the problem could be diagnosed and easily resolved but if anything else serious was to happen and you had to take it back or the shop or whoever did it then it becomes an issue because they weren't originally informed of it.

BUT again, it's all speculation...he could of had a friend do the major stuff letting him finish it. :dunno:

[ek forever]

I say take it back to the shop that fucked it up.

It's their problem, not yours.

[ryan yco]

ok everyone i cant hold the shop responsible because i did the clutch fly and tranny install at my shop they did the rest of the swap. if im not mistaken i think when i put the tranny in the pilot bearing came off the fork and got jammed so the clutch will not engage. the fork moves when you push the pedal down everything works just the clutch will not grab it thinks its in neutral so something is holding the clutch open. so if there are any other ideas please let me know.

Did you use a clutch alignment tool/spare main shaft to get the clutch back on?

[ryan yco]

yes i did use a alignment tool when i put the clutch kit in and it was all perfectly aligned just when i was putting the tranny in it was being a bitch and i had to knock it around a bit and in the process i think the pilot bearing came off the fork. thats a big i think. its either that or i didnt torque the presure plate down enough. if this sounds about right let me know.

[EmminoDaGreat]

pilot bearing is in the flywheel, and if its a prelude its a bushing. Throw out bearing is on the fork.
