not in just 1 gear

[blcksi]

To check if it really the clutch, from a stop can you easily put it in 2nd or 3rd? If not I say adjust the clutch or replace.

Check your fluid level or change the fluid. If it continues to do the same then it could possibly be your transmission going bad, springs clutch are broking or broken.. G/L

this guy is most likely right my prelude does that same thing and when put fluid in it, it goes alot easier

Where do you live, and like I asked before, is it a d or b?

[geezy]

doesnt matter anymore rev. that hatch is long gone now

[Revmaynard]

[Repiks]

Yup.


I got it now.


And I changed the Trans fluid, I think it's the linkage. It def. needs new trans bushings, it wiggles around in gear like it's in neutral.

[SPOOLIN]

so its fixed?

sounds like the brass shynchro has worn down the stop block that keeps it within its range of circular motion, when that happens, 1 out of 4 times that you try to put it in gear...it will just go fine but the rest of the time and especially at a stop it wont go in for shit lol.

[Repiks]

No, it's not fixed.

I feel as though the clutch isn't engaging enough, where do I adjust it?

The only reason is it's hard to get in any gear from a stop, and if it's cranked while in gear it wants to move a little.
