Hey guys! I own a 1987 base model FC that was giving me problems with my reverse gear, so before I did an overhaul on my tranny, I wanted to change out the small clutch components first. I removed my tranny and replaced the clutch. I then started the car no problem and idled the car for about 10~15 mins when I realized that reverse gear was still same problems. so I shut the car off and went inside for a beer. When I tried to start the car again later in the day, all I got was a clicking sound "like when the battery is bad, or the starter" so I got those checked out and both passed. Next i'm guessing i'll check wires for any damage. I was wondering if anyone has ever had a problem like this before.

SUMMARY

1. Gear problems
2. Worked on clutch "removed and installed"
3. Car Started Fine, Clutch problems still there
4. When trying to start the car a couple hours later, there is no start and just a clicking sound

Thank your for your time gang.

 

you may have false power supply in the starter motor or lack of - in the box, little current in battery or false cord

 

thats wat i was thinking

 

many people have had the same problem..search more on the forums and you'll get your answer

 

Does the car require the clutch to be depressed to start the car? There is a Blue plug near the trailing coil. In this plug there is a somewhat thick gauge Black/Green wire. This wire must have voltage w/key to start. Does it? If the clutch needs to be depressed and the B/G wire does not have voltage w/key to start then you need to look at the Interlock Switch located at the top of the clutch and this item has a Black/Red wire and a Black/Green wire. The B/R wire would have voltage w/key to start and if it does then this voltage passes on to the B/G wire w/the key to start and clutch depressed. If the Black/Green wire has voltage w/key to start then the Black/White wire in the Blue plug should also have voltage w/key to start. Does it?
