well i just got my FD its pearl white. it was delived friday. it dosent go into any gear except reverse when i put it in and let the clutch out it pops out. if i try and hold it in it will grind. 1st to 5th dont go in gear at all. when i try to put it in gear it just wont go. it dosent make any noise when i do it. any help would be great this is my first FD but im not new to the rx7s any help would be great

 

i tryed a search but nothing helped

 

hhmmm....throwout bearing maybe? I am just throwing that out there, cuz i honestly dont know too much about drivelines, but its a possibility.

how many miles does ur tranny have on it, btw?

 

most likely the synchros.. pretty costly

 

yea, that would have been my next guess...and if ALL of ur synchros are out ur lookin @ one pricey tranny rebuild cuz ur gear teeth are all rounded off as well by this point. Call the last owner and ask him what he did to ur car before u got it too.

 

well he said that the car drove just fine and all then one day it just stopped moving. it has 106000 total. well it doent grind at all because it doesn't go into gear. How much do you think it will cost to fix it. i bought it for $7000 cash and traded a 90 jetta and my 88 rx7 for it i was going to sell them any ways so it dosent matter I will talk to one of my mechanic friends and see what he has to say on monday. oh well do you guys think it was a good deal?

 

yep, thats a good deal, just buy a new tranny.

 

hey man does it go into gear when car off it it does it is a very cheap cheap thing to fix all rx7 clutches are hydralic and you broke the slave cylinder i believe it is called to is what holds your clutch fluid if it is out JUST DEAD with a leak or just not working then a replacement and some fluid will fix it ran me about 153.99 at a shop to fix including labor and parts.....it happened to me after a stalled the **** out of my car!!!!

 

it dosent go into gear at all with the engine on or off. it feels like the clutch is moving and there is no hydralic fluid leaking, that i can see. maby ill jack the car up and see if its on the other end of the line. if it isnt that how much do you think it will cost to replace/ fix the tranny? thanks for the help

 

A new rebuilt tranny is about 1500 plus labor I believe.

 

new tranny sounds best

 

well he can get it in to reverse so i dont think its the clutch lines leaking

 

grrr i dont think they are. thanks for the help about how long dose it take to fix it? because im out of a car now my 86 2+2 is almost workin and my primary driver is the 94 shizznat
