really, but the thing is i dont think its the tranny cause i put it in gear when the car is off and then i start it and its almost as tho the clutch isnt even engaged and the car just jolts. so to me it doesnt seem like the tranny but maybe the clutch is adjusted wrong or just not working properly. im not so sure its the tranny, i dont think my clutch is grabbing as it should

 

just get a new clutch and maybe the springs on clutch disc is broken.

 

Sure, just tear down your tranny. No problem. Easy as 1.2.3. Hell, install a new engine while you're at it.

 

ya i dont think im gonna go tearing down my tranny haha im gonna ahve someone look at it and maybe its an easy fix. i def wouldnt go doing nething big before having someone look at it. i had problems with my electrical before and people told me a whole bunch or crazy things and all it was, was the wire from the battery to the fuse box. i replaced it and bam it started right up. im gonna ahve someone check it out first

 

ok heres thew deal, i drove my car today and i had to put it in first and then start the car it kinda pop started with a little help from the clutch, it jolted forward and then started. it drives fine but when i go to stop it tries to stall out cause the clutch isnt working properly. so if neone of you knows how to adjust my clutch so it grabs better that would be great. idk my clutch has some play in it. you can push it in say a 1/4 maybe little less of the way and its nothing but play. so i was thinking it needed to be adjusted neways. i think if i adjust it to grab better that might fix the problem. cause ive pretty much ruled out the tranny being messed up. its highly unlikely from what i see. im just trying to learn everything about my car but im still a beginer when it comes to imports. if adjusting the clutch to grab better doesnt work then ill have to have a mechanic take a look. my only other option. thanx for everyones help so far.

 

heres my car on cardomain.com http://www.cardomain.com/ride/797014 i dont have ne resent pics on there right now i havent took any new ones.

 

Hey! Wrong forum!!! You have an integra motor in a 5th gen civic, not an Integra! :chuckles: Moderators? Move this? LOL!

It certainly sounds to me like a hydraulic problem or a broken clutch fork. Definitely get it checked out by someone that's not a random entity on the internet. We could all be iNsAnE for all you know.

I think what greenGSR was saying is to be prepared for the worst. To some people, swapping a tranny is something you do between drag passes; maybe not the case for most, but there are some people out there with skills. Maybe find one of those people near you to come and just take a look at it.

If you want to learn all the crazy clutch failures, buy a Mitsubishi. I've broken 2 masters and a slave, 3 clutch discs, a clutch release fork. 4 wheel bearings, 3 transmissions, 2 front axles, and the whole freakin' clutch pedal. All within 20k miles on one car. Maybe that ACT 2600lb pressure plate was a i bit much on my 8 year-old drivetrain? Nah. It's awesome! I wouldn't have it any other way. I highly recommend an ACT clutch if you have to replace it.

 

ok how to i change the oil in my tranny cause i havent checked it since ive got my car. i dont know how to drain or fill it. today i started it again and it went into gear but as the car warmed up it got harder and when i put it in gear with the clutch in it kept creeping forward. i wanna try to adjust my clutch to grab better and change my tranny fluid. if that doesnt help or solve the problem any. im out of ideas. i just wanna know how to do those 2 things and if i ahve no more luck, im gonna have a mechanic check it out and tell me the problem or problems.

 

It's not a gear oil issue. It's your clutch pedal assembly or a hydraulic issue because it's inconsistent. I bet if you went to Auto Zone today, bought a master and slave cylinder, swapped 'em out and bled the clutch, this would go away completely.

You never answered whether or not there was anything leaking from the clutch master inside the car. Push your finger on the rubber boot and see if anything leaks out of it.

 

im pretty sure nothing is leaking from the master cylinder in the car but i am in school right now and im gonna check when i get home. but neways how can i tell if my slave cylinder is working properly? is it easy to take out and look at?
