Alright, the other night my 83 rx7 quit going into gear, in the time before it stopped I could here it making a decently loud clunking noise. This is the same noise I heard in my truck before the slave cylinder went out. So I changed the slave cylinder and when we couldn't get any fluid coming out when we tried to bleed it after quite a while we decided it was time for a master cylinder as well. So we changed both of those and the car still will not go into gear, and we can't figure out why, we have adjusted clutch linkage and the whole nine yards and still nothing. If someone could help us figure out what may be wrong or give us any ideas as to what we could try that would be awesome. Also the car still goes into gear when it is shut off you can shift through all of them just fine it is just when the car is on that you can't get it to go into gear.

 

Clutch end of story. pull trans.

 

Are you serious? why would the clutch being out cause it not to go into gear, I have had a clutch go out in the truck and all it did was slip etc.

 

Either your clutch isn't disengaged (wedged by debris or broken springs)
or the pilot bearing has seized up and it prevents the input shaft from
free wheeling even when the clutch is disengaged. Not an unusual
occurance with these cars.

I think at this point you'll have to drop the tranny to determine whats going on.

 

the clutch makes it go into gear, Remember this is an rx7 not a truck. its ether the clutch or your tranny is bad. on a mazda when things break thur broke.

 

uggghhhhhhh

 

Oh I know both of my truck have been mazda b2200's.

 

no i was just talking **** to here my self talk.

 

Ahhh Ben.... so hilarious

 

HAHA whatever, I just want to make sure sometimes people like to mess with people. I think the car is going to a mechanic as much as I hate to do it, I just don't feel like dropping a trans. I think I will just stick to work on my trucks, because they are so much easier to work on, and I enjoy doing it.

 

wow i can have a trans out of a fb in 45 minutes.

 

Wanna come do it for me?

 

if you where in my town i would change the clutch for you for 300 bucks.

 

That would be nice, the more I think about it the more I want to do it, the problem is, is my dad says he wants the car out of the garage so he can park his car back in there, and I would do it in my driveway but the driveway is really sloped. So I am going to have to convince him to let me keep it in the garage which will not be easy.
