i put my clutch in and i cant put it in gears at all they dont click at all

 

Is ur clutch pedal sticky ? If so could be clutch master cylinder

 

If you smell your clutch normally then it may be going, but if you physically cannot get the car into gear, that is a different story.

Try putting the car into a gear with it turned off. Does it click into gear then? If not I would first be looking at the shift assembly, cables, etc first and hope the issue is there (external to the tranny).

If you can get it into gear with the car turned off, push in the clutch and start the car (with it still in gear) and see what happens. If the car tries to move at all (do this away from other cars, walls, etc just in case it does.. and keep the ebrake engaged) then your clutch is not disengaging fully. In that case it could be a hydraulic issue, which you should feel in the pedal, or other mechanical issues.

There would still be a chance that the clutch is more than just burned and is not fully engaged or disengaged.. but you need to check those other items before you just decide you need a clutch.

 

engifineer. the gear goes in when its turned off. i did that. i put it in 1st gear. turned on the car. then drove. and i hear a grinding noise. and then thers no way from switching gears when being on 1st gear. so after hearing the grinding i decided to call the tow. it feels like the clutch is not grabbing. and thanks for responding dude. really appreciate it

 

That doesnt sound too good as far as your tranny is concerned. So just driving in first produces a grinding noise?

 

To add to Engifineer's guru skills:

Does it grind when you shift it into a gear? Or only after you're done shifting and are trying to drive off?

 

yes. it makes a horrible grinding noise on 1st gear. i can turn on the car and the motor sound good. but oh mann. its horrible when turning it off and putting 1st gear in and turning it on and driving it

 

dude, i hope your gf has some serious $$$, my transmission overhaul was just short of 2 grand dude...seriously...

 

there is no way in hell i can put it in gear while the car is on. im able to put it in 1st while its off then turning it on and drive while is grinding and not bein able to change gears. i tried forcing it in to gear while being on but i felt like i was going to break my shift **** so i stopped

 

drax. i hope she does too

 

well...if you turn your car off, put it into 2nd gear...you can drive yourself where you need to go on your own... lol

 

r u still under warranty? cuz if u r I don't think an intake and small lil things like that r going to void a tranny

 

I wonder if you can double clutch and shift. Get driving into first, push in the clutch, pull it into neutral, let the clutch out, press it back in and shift to second. If that works better, it may point to a destroyed synchro. However, it would have to be in pretty bad shape if it is making the noise you mention and wont shift at all.. even with trashed synchros you should still be able to eventually shift.

If you get the car going and really drop the pedal, does the rpm increase quickly without the car acclerating? If so then the clutch is slipping as well.. this is best tested in a higher gear, but it doesnt sound like you can get into a higher gear while driving.

There could be a case where the clutch is not disengaging, meaning you would have a very hard time shifting. If the clutch is actually broken, then it could be causing alot of noise as well. Most times I would expect that to be noisy just sitting there idling as well though.

I think it definitely needs to be looked at in person to diagnose any further though.

 

a dealers job is to try not to get your car under the warranty coverage. little things they find void it

 

i cant try that now. my car is blocked in my drive way rite now and my step dad is sleepin. i have a mechanic comin in the morning to check it out. engifineer im going to tell him what you said to try.

 

dude, i'm serious, go to fitzgerald toyota service, they're good people, talk to mr. steve gooche, or gil briggs, the service manager.

there is absolutely no way the mods that you've done to your car could have caused those problems.

aside from your short throw shifter, what have you done to your car having anything to do with your transmission? if the answer is nothing, then fitzgerald and you both know that there is nothing there to say that you caused this damage to your transmission.

 

2000? omg! ima kill myself dude! i hope i dont have to spend on a tranny

 

ill give it a try in the morning after hearing what the mechanic tells me.

 

drax. hold up what made you spend 2000?

 

Yeah, I would let it sit until someone can look at it in person. At this point you dont want to cause any more damage by trying to drive it really. It is always hard to diagnose over the net based off descriptions.
