I changed my clutch, clutch plate, throwout bearing and the flywheel a few days ago on my 91 honda civic. I put everything back together and the car won't start. First I thought it was my battery so I got I new battery and the engine still wouldn't turn over. It was making a quick ticking noise and thats it. I push start it and it runs fine. Anyone knows whats going on?

 

if ya push started it fine id say its the starter...... or maybe ya forgot to hook up the power wire or reversed a wire on the starter....

but thats what it sounds like to me...

 

I wired the starter correctly.

 

take it off and have it tested out....
cause if its only clicking that must mean that the main starter isnt working... only the actuator..... which is making the clicking noises.....

just pull it and run it to autozone or someplace that can test it out on a bench....

might have had a internal wire break or something when ya removed it...

 

sounds like your engine/transmission aren't grounded to the chassis

 

Dito, I agree make sure you put that tiny brown ground wire back on the tranny

 

you guys were right on, the starter wasn't grounded properly. Thanks everyone

 

good to hear its fixed..
its always the little things that can be a pain!
