i tried all gears. ok i'm going to describe it to you again.

normally you would sit down press the clutch put the car into first then release the clutch with a little gas. <----normally

but when i release the clutch the car doesn't move and doesn't shot off. it feels as if the tranny is still in neutral. the actual shifter goes into first but not the car.

 

you should get out and try to manually put the car in gear. find where the shift linkage leads to, and push one of the things(i forget what they are called) and try to click them into gear. youll see them coming off of the transmission and the shift linkage connects to them, they are kinda big and heavy and have wieghts on them. do you have pedal pressure though? and you can also have someone put the car in gear for you as you watch to see if the shiftlinkages are moving and those wieghts are turning.

 

where would i find the shiftlinkages?.....hmm.....ur not talking about the fork that the slave cylinder pushes right? where can i find the shift linkages?

 

(shifter linkages aka) Shifter cables run from you shifter to your transmission which would be located somewhere on the top of the transmission usually. You can't miss them. Should be two cables going to some "clutch arms" (my term). Those are what switch the gears in your transmission. Now if you have somebody with you, look at those arms, have them push the clutch down and go through the gears (car off). See if the arms move, if they don't then the shifter cables may have not been put back unto the bracket located somewhere on the transmission. The cables should not have little to no play if they were put back correctly.

Hope that describes it.

 

If the shifter cables are fine and bolted correctly then I would see about it being the TOB (throw out bearing) which is on the shaft inside the transmission which works on the fork the slave cylinder pushes. If that were to come loose or off in those effects it may do what your talking about (noises and such). Someone correct me if I'm wrong but this happened to me before and maybe I'm not wording it right.

You may also want to try Club3G since its more related to your style of generation car and you might get a faster answer that way. Just a suggestion if you haven't done so already.

 

Were trying to help but it could be different things. Its hard saying what it is online without actually being there. I wouldn't tow the car 200+ miles. I would have someone locally check on it, determine the problem and if its any work your friend did then you can deal with him to take care of the problem. But right now its not worth the money to have it towed 200+ miles. This is my opinion on this.

 

thanks for you help. my car has hydroloc shift so i really dont think there are any cables involved. (correct me if i'm wrong) i'm a member of club3gfl and club3g and they can 't seem to think of what it is. thanks for you help your the only one on here that even bothered.

i'm going to have my buddy just go over the whole car here locally. a different friend that installed it. i'll never go back to my boy. you guys may know him cause he's great with custom sound and stereo. name is JP forgot who he worked with out there.

thanks

 

What? I told you all of the sh*t Jay told you in my post. You clearly don't know what you're doing and this thread doesn't appear to be helping you.

If your friend can't help, bring you car to a board member that's got the time. The potential culprits have been identified. You (someone, anyway) needs to eliminate them until you/they find the cause.

 

ok ok calm down. i'm sorry if i hurt your feelings. i'm just going to get it towed to my boys and drop the tranny. she'll be running really soon.

 

you might not have to drop the tranny!!! mine did this before and it was just something with the adjustment in the pedal
