I recently bought an Integra Type R from a friend with 70,000 miles on the clock. Since I have had it which is since november I have replaced the slave and master cylinder and also the clutch which cured the problem i was having of getting the car into gear. I found out by replacing the clutch that a piece of metal was stuck between the pressure plate and the clutch plate so there was no need to really replace the clutch or master and slave cylinders, but i did it anyway. Since then car been fantastic (an animal infact) and i love it every bit. But i now have a similar problem again but mainly in third gear. on every journey i have problems getting it into third usually two attempts and its in gear this happens about 35% of the time i am changing into third. I have also noticed that today second gear did it a couple of times and at one point i couldn't get it in any gear. I was sat on my drive with the car in neutral with the engine started and if i gently eased it into third most of the time it wouldn't go into third if i quickly put it into third it would go in nearly all of the time. but when i ease it gently into third most of the time it doesn't go in so i would go back into neutral and let the clutch out and a clunking noise comes from the engine bay which doesn't make me feel good. I know its a tricky one but could please please please someone help me with any ideas or suggestions as i love my car very much. thanks :a:

 

wow, that was hard to read.

If I correctly followed your post, then check the clutch again and make sure everything is still correctly installed (tightened, etc), make sure the throwout is ok, make sure there are no springs broken, etc.

What happens with the car turned off. If there are still problems with the engine not running then it could be an internal transmission problem.

 

thanks dave-ROR, when the car is turned off it is fine no problems at all, but it is now really hard to get in third and fifth and it will also jump out of both gears aswell.

 

Sounds like a spring in the clutch disc. You must be hard on clutches.

 

clutch is only two months old, and i dont spin the wheels either, so it aint the clutch!!! anymore suggestions, what about gear linkage?

 

I'm locking/deleting the other thread, since it is essentially asking for assistance on the same subject.

 

the car is now jumping out of third and fifth aswell

 

I would follow Dave ROR's advice and check everything on the clutch.

It is not the linkage, and it most likely is not the tranny internals.

It sounds very much like a clutch issue.

Drop the tranny and check it out and let us know what you find.

 

been to honda today and they have said it is more than likely the tribar that links to the top of the gearbox! it has either come loose or is knackered causing the gear box to move and not making me get my gears! defo not clutch only 1500 miles on my clutch since it was fitted 3 months ago!!

 

well i have just found out that its the thrust washer bearing thats the problem that it is not sitting in the fork right!! a joyful thursday of dropping the gearbox out!! car is very noisy when in neutral and the clutch is out!! but we will see on thursday
