Ok so I traded for a rx7 GTI couple months ago. I was driving home and wouldn't so anywhere. Replaced the clutch and still nothing. Pulled trans again found it was bad. Bought a used good one tested good as well. Pit that one in and still nothing. I've read forums and searched all I can. Disc is on correctly pressure plate cleaned slave working properly. Only issue I can see that could be the problem is surface rust on the flywheel. Oh with the rear of the car in the air wheels barely turn, even when revving a lil. Please help!

 

Gtu. Autocorrect I didn't see til now.

 

How do you test a clutch???

And are you having issues with it going into gear? Or it'll go into gear and won't move when you let the clutch out?

 

Going in to gear won't move no grinding.

 

Your rear wheels in the air comment, is that putting it in ANY gear? Or only first?

Can you out've curiosity make it "grind gears" so you know the trans is turning internally?

 

As long as the correct clutch assembly and release bearing was installed, the only possible
explanation I can come up with is that the PP is not clamping tight enough against the disc.
Stick it in gear, wheels up, disconnect the linkage from the fork and give it a try.

 

any gear n no I can't make it grind

 

i thought of doing the same thing. I'm gonna try to clean up the flywheel first then if it don't work I'll try that. I work 3rd so I work on it in the mornings when i get home.

 

I also put a s4 trans in it. It's s5 I don't think that makes a difference tho

 

I also put the old clutch disc on the input shaft and put into different gears and it turned the driveshaft just fine n felt great.

 

Jack n jack stands holding the transmission n driveshaft. That way I could see it all moving.

 

Did you happen to replace any hydraulic components,such as the slave?

 

No.

 

Differential any good?

 

Seems to be working correctly

 

What did you do? I, too thought it sounded like the disc wasn't properly clamped by the pressure plate.

 

What got it to work? I was thinking the Pressure Plate fork was stuck
