Tranny / Clutch Problem
My step-daughter's 95 Integra developed a problem last night leaving her stranded.
She has had a very slow leak of the clutch fluid and has had to add some about once a year. The other day she had problems shifting into gear and almost pull over but it started shifting again.
Last night she shifted into natural while driving and when she went to shift back into gear it wouldn't go.
When she is low on fluid the clutch pedal would go to the floor and stick there. That didn't happen this time. The pedal is stiff but moveable. However it vibrates when you push in on it.
I checked and then added some fluid. Bled the slave cylinder but there was no improvement. Pressing in on the clutch pedal will not disengage the clutch/tranny.
I can feel the slave cylinder move the metal arm behind the rubber boot when she press the pedal so I think the master and slave cylinders are working. I think the problem is from the slave on into the clutch.
I had her put the tranny in reverse and hold the clutch pedal down and start the car. The car moved with the starter.
I have been searching the old posts here last night and this morning and cannot find anything that looks like a similar problem. Does anyone have a suggestion or advise?
My plan at this point is to pull the tranny and look at what is going on with the clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing.
Any help is much appreciated.
