Default Wont go into gear.

Ok the problem started out of nowhere when i pulled up to a light i noticed a small amount of grinding that i could feel through my clutch when i pushed it in. When i went to pull off from the light I couldnt get into gear at all. So I allowed my car to roll down the hill off of the road. I turned the car off and look under the hood, nothing. I turned the car back on and placed it into 1rst and I felt the same grinding sensation but much worse. I drove it home and when i went to leave it would not go into gear at all and if i forced it it would grind like hell.
I have a new six puck clutch with factory pressure plate and flywheel. I also have a new slave cylinder which I bleed to no avail. My buddies put the clutch in it for me while I was doing something else. I have a jdm b16 with a hydro (of course) and I think a Non-lsd y1.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Even though I usually just get bashed. The tranny will be coming out tommarow.

Yank off the tranny and have a look. You are going to have to take it off to fix it anyways.

which is bullshit cause i just put all this shit togather like 3 weeks ago.
Do you think excessive wheelhop (two visits to the track and a shitload of street driving) could of loosend up something.

NO it wont go into any gear. I pretty sure it has nothing to do with the tranny.

You usually get flamed because you are a tool.


I'm guessing either shift linkage or clutch. Total tranny meltdown seems unlikely.


BTW, cobbling together a clutch out of various parts... not the wisest idea imho. If the clearances aren't right, you might have destroyed the plate or the clutch. Was the clutch sprung or unsprung?

Default Could be a clutch disk spring.

I had a clutch disk spring come out of place in a '94 b16. Fine one minute, then it wouldn't shift into any gear, but I also couldn't depress the clutch. When I took it apart there was a clutch spring broken into two pieces and all ground up in the bell housing. Replaced the plate and disk and everything was fine.
