so the other day i'm driving, and my fucking clutch snapped in two. i have no idea how it happened, but heres a pic.





i didnt know what was going on at the time, but none of my shifts wanted to go in, and when i went from first to second, i had to give it alot of pressure. then it wouldnt take any of them. so i turned it off and had it towed to my mechanic. he dropped the tranny and then i found out about the clutch. so i bought a new clutch plate, had it installed, picked it up the next day. now second gear grinds everytime i shift. no matter what. if the car is in neutral and i shift without the clutch pressed, it'll grind too. theres like, no wall like there should be. the only way i can get it into second is if the car isnt moving, then i can launch the car in second and go to third. to avoid problems, i;ve been going from first to third, but what do you think it is? i have a feeling its the second gear syncro.

can a syncro just come loose from shifting with no clutch?

he might have not bled the clutch cyclinder correcty... u have to hold back the arm wit a ratchet strap or suttin along those lines.. and then u need to press and release the clutch a few times hold the clutch to the floor and then open the bleeder.... just a thought
yes u can fuck up ur syncros if u shift wit no clutch unless u have a perfect road speed and trany speed so the gears and line up corectly
Holy shit. How did you break a clutch with a stock car?????

-Dan!!
i'm i'm pretty much fucked, eh? acura quoted me 380 or something like that for second gear syncro. anyone know where i can get one cheaper? might be cheaper to just buy second gear? i'd warrety it, but the car is out of the country and acura told me wheret he car is, theres no where to take it in.

Take it fuckin Honda


Honda is everywhere, tell those bitches to stop being stupid
the car is in dominican republic, where should i take it? my only option to have ia warrentied is to ship it to puerto rico, which i think would cost more than the repairs. i bought the car in miami though, so i think its only fair i gget warrenty work. i just wish i knew how... i'm selling the car though, so all i want is to fix it and get rid of it.
just in case anyone was curious, i ended up having to buy the whole second gear. 384.00 at acura. car is up and running again
yup, its for sale

buying a new RSX as well, hopefuly this week.
