Ok, installed a new clutch on the civic (96 civic EX). Everything went well with a few exceptions. Tonight, went to start for the first time, starts fine. Clutch pedal works, moves the clutch fork etc. I can hear it engage / disengage the tranny in neutral. Put it in gear, release the clutch, the car doesn't move. Like i said, i can hear the tranny engage when i release the clutch in neutral (tranny is old...gonna replace eventually).

Somebody pls help. Seems like the clutch must not be releasing all the way...but i could be wrong.

edit: mod, pls fix my subject typo

 

So when you put it in gear and it doesn't move does it just stall?

 

no. it doesnt stall

 

bump

 

man, that sucks. im about to do my clutch too and i have to say, that may be my worst nightmare... heres a bump cause without an operational clutch i would not have a job.

 

yeah, my thoughts too. I'm moving in 3 weeks. need to figure it out.

 

Maybe you need to adjust the clutch. It may not be releasing all the way. I've never done this myself though.

 

That's all I can really think of is adjusting the clutch.

 

Thats what im thinking too. I just am not sure how....been researching, and i see it can be done, just not how..

 

did you ever adjust the pedal througout the life of the old clutch?
