#145377 pretty sure it going all the way. but even if it doesnt when i stick it in gear it should grind or spin or at least tell me fuk you. if slave is over clutch isnt engaged. no problems getting it in gear.

#145544 Did you get the axle put all the way back in? That would be my first guess. Then check so see if the diff is functioning properly by spinning one tire and watching he other one to see if i spins the opposite direction while the trans is in gear. If the other tire doesn't spin at all with the transmission in gear, you have a fucked transmission. If it does, do that in each gear to ensure that each gear is actually engaging. Next, get a buddy and spin both tires the same way with the clutch engaged and the transmission in first gear. Spin the tires a few times in the same direction to ensure that you have a good FD gear. Also, check to see if he engine is turning at the same time.

If the tires spin opposite of each other in all gears, reverse included, check the pedal. When you're under the dash, looking at the pedal, spin the MC shaft clockwise to push it out further. Check the pedal travel every so often to make sure you aren't smashing the throwout bearing into the clutch disc. If it does hit the throwout bearing, spin the shaft counterclockwise until it doesn't and check to see if it engages the transmission by starting it up and such.

If none of that makes any difference, you might have a bad pressure plate.

#145546 if its a pressure plate I have another one laying around. Im just trying to get as much input as I can so I can jot it all down because when I get a chance to go the car which is 30 mins away I want to have hopefully enough 411 to drive it home. I wish I had the car here so I could just run back inside and ask ?s

#145564 did u hook up the linkage right. maybe the shift arms arent moving when u move the shifter. maybe the shift arms only move when u try to engage reverse so thats the only one it grinds on.

#145748 If the transmission feels like its going into gear correctly then the transmission is most likely not at fault.

I would recommend trying to spin one wheel when both are in the air and seeing if the other spins. If it does and your gears feel good then your transmission is most likely okay.

If the Transmission is okay, The axles are both in and seated correctly then it would be a clutch issue. Either the fly wheel is not torqued tight enough, or the clutch arm isn't hooked up or functioning correctly. If the clutch pedel presses down and then comes back up like normal it would most likely be the bolts holding the pressure plate on not being torqued down enough.

#149295 sure do. I have nobody to help me with the car and can never get out to the damn thing. I might buy another trans to be on safe side but the guy ssid it may be a JDM D15B LSD trans so he wants to make sure before he tells me a price. he had motor and all for 350 but i didnt jump on it soon enough.
