My 2nd gen wont shift gears. HELP
hey hows everyone been. yeah i know its been a while since i'v been on here but i've been working hard lately. but about a month ago i got a new clutch put in to my rx7. Then the other day when i was driving it i went to go shift and it wouldn't. No matter how much i pressed on the clutch i couldn't shift gears. The master cylinder has fluid in it but whats going on with my car? Can someone help me pleas and if anyone thinks they can fix it hey I'm more then willing to pay

I've seen this happen before. It's usually from abuse and the only way to fix it is to pull the transmission, inspect the clutchfork/fork pivot and usually replace the transmission. In the one instance the gear selector was perminately set in reverse, which was an internal transmission problem and it was cheaper to just replace it with a used one rather then have it rebuilt or inspected by a trans shop.
One other thing to check, clutch pedal adjustment at the top of the clutch pedal at the firewall (inside the car).

yea if your pedals not sinking to the floor and sticking there when you press it then you can rule out your master and slave sylinder. I would definitely check it out just in case, if your slave cylinder is original might as well replace it just to be safe.
if it still doesnt work it's most likely a bent fork or a snapped fork pivot ball...seen both happen.

Try Checking the Slave Cylinder.Where the "pin" is between the cylinder itself and the Clutch Fork.if it is wet at the rubber.Then,it is leaking,or Fubarred...you could always try to Bleed your Clutch hydraulics to rule out that aspect of it..Now If the shifter did not move when you went to shift,Something may be hindering that.I have had a piece of Shifter bushing Break off and do that Once to me...anyhow,something to check out,if you Start to Seek out the problem.
