Thread: Car will not go into gear when its running.

i would like to know if anybody know why the car his not goin on gear when the car is on .but when car is off it shift nice it when the car on i push the clutch pedal and hear the flywheel grindin. some body please help.

have you tried adjusting the clutch?

clutch time...

yes i did adjust the cable . it brand new clutch so im try to know find out what i did wrong

Is this after you put in the clutch? Perhaps, when the flywheel was cut, they left a bevel or a lip on it instead of cutting clear over the edge?

I had an issue like this a couple years ago. I did the job twice thinking there was a mistake. We ended up putting it into gear while off, starting the car, and burning a bit of the clutch until it engaged/disengaged on it's own. I'm sure I'll get flamed for going that route, but it worked and I haven't had an issue with the car since. Worth a shot.

it findaze flywheel and bought it from a forum member.alright thanks im goin to try that.

Is it a new faceplate and new clutch? Perhaps they are having some trouble mating if the faceplate is used and the clutch is new? I'd try it out and see what happens. Good luck.

The throw out bearing may also be an issue. Did you replace that as well?

I am pretty sure if a clip for it comes off it will cause this. Not 100% sure if that is your issue, though.

it was a brand new bearing to . i just want to know why the flywheel grindin when i try to engage throw the gear.

any body close to silver spring md area that can come by to see wat im talkin about that would help alot.

hmmmm....long shot, but loose spring on clutch disk maybe? happened to me. spring fell out of my clutch disk, and was jammed on the flywheel bolt. hmmm....also see if you can pull up and down on the shift lever(on the tansmission, where the cable attaches). i installed my tranny once in the dark, and knocked one of the clips off of the tob. same problem your having. if you can pull up or push down on that lever, your tob clip came off. other than that, make sure your cable is adjusted.
