Just had a JDM Gsr swapped into my EG. It used to be an auto D, now its a 5 speed B18C. The other night I was driving home and stopped at a light.....went into first no problem, wouldnt go into second and the clutch pedal felt a little weird. I stopped in a parking lot nearby. The car will NOT go into gear when the engine is running.....I turn the motor off, step on the clutch and it will go into any gear I want, just not when the car is running. What do you guys think is up? Its a brand new exedy stage 1 with a resurfaced OEM Flywheel. I had it done at a shop and im bringin the car back on monday, but Im just curious on what this could be.....anyone? I havent tried bleeding the clutch master but ive heard that will work........how do I do that?> lol I feel like a noob.

 

Yeah, sounds like bleeding is your best bet right now. Manual tranny will shift without clutch when engine is not working. Not all the gears usually, but definitely will.

 

I totally copy pasted my problem from another forum, didnt wanna retype it. Misha how is bleeding going to help thou? There is plenty of fluid, and the cars been driving fine for the past few days.

 

I usually start with the easiest thing. You obviously have clutch disengagement problem. The easiest thing is the hydro line. You might just have undertightened bleeding valve. So you start from here, cause this does not cost you a lot. Sure, this could be clutch itself, or throwout bearing, or release fork - but all of them are located inside the clutch housing, and you know it's kinda expensive to get there. So you make sure that everything from the pedal to the slave cylinder works fine before you attempt to open the clutch... Oh, btw, this could be a shift linkage, too.

 

Im takin it back to the shop that did the swap, theyll fix it for free, but i gotta get it up there lol. I just wanted to see if there was a simple fix, like if tis was a common problem.. Im def not takin the tranny apart, I paid them to do it right, and thats what im going to make sure they do.

 

could be some bad syncros if you start moving will it adventualy slid into gear? or does it grind with the clutch all the way pushed in?

 

Nope it wont go in at all.

 

were did you get the tranny from? did it come with the car? how was the tranny treated before you got it?

 

it was with the GSR swap. Shifts real smooth too.......well it did when it worked lol.

 

sounds like something let loose
