just put in a aftermarket flywheel and xtd stage 4 clutch kit and now my car wont crank. I have no idea what happened. I got the starter tested at autozone and it passed everything. I feel like its a electrical problem. My battery works fine;the windows go up and radio works and dash doesnt really look too dim. Im charging the battery now but in the meantime someone PLEASE shine some light on my situation.:confused:
 
Make sure the starter has a clean contact to the bell housing. There is also a ground wire that runs to the bellhousing..Make sure that is clean as well.
Double check you're connection on the back of the starter too.
 
Do all what was sate it before.

If it doesn't work, then test the starter.

Make a jump from the battery to the starter (the black with yellow stripe), and see if it cranks.

If it does, then check if you are getting signal from the black with yellow stripe, If you don't get power from that line when cranking, then check your Relay, It might be off.
 
Thanks guys for the help. It ended it being the wrong clutch and flywheel. The clutch was alot bigger and it wedged against the bell housing and THATS why it couldnt start. My buddy came over and took a look and he said: "bro .. I just changed my clutch for my civic and that looks exactly like it.." :banghead: All my original parts are back in and my car is a champ again.
 
yea i did something like that. I put a new fly wheel and clutch in, and they gave me a gsx flywheel whitch is a little smaller. I couldnt figure it out untill I took the tranie out twice. But glad its fixed :]
 
yeah its really annoying that I have a 6 puck clutch kit and a really light flywheel ready to go but idk it just doesnt line up. Im gonna just try and tell it, who knows- maybe it'll work for someone else - maybe even a 2g. Still stoked that everything works again cause not having a car for the 6days it took me to realize I had the wrong parts sucks!!! I got little bigger tho ;) lifting the tranny and trying to get it in the splines was truly a workout:sneaky:
