Sounds like it needs a new clutch if it is a manual. Need a bit more info before I can say for sure.

Check the slave cylinder to see if the rod is still in and is making contact with the clutch fork. while your down there have your friend push in the clutch to see if you have movement. check the fluid in the master cylinder also . If the clutch was slipping it would still go into gear .

Check the clutch fluid level, read everything under the drivetrain link here:

and DO SOME RESEARCH before posting a new thread. This is by no means a new or unique topic.

And while you are checking fluids, check the gear oil in the tranny.

Probably not. If it was a bad clutch he should be able to go into gear, he just coldn't go anywhere after he did due to it slipping badly.

The first place to start is the hydraulic system.

No, if a spring busted out on the pressure plate (like mine did) the car wont go in gear while running but will while not. If thats the case then your friend needs a new clutch. But the only way to check is to look at the slave cylinder and clutch fork while a friend pushes in the clutch.

 

[eclipsh]

That's the other reason why I qualified my answer with an edit. 'Cause I am wrong too... sometimes

If you two are done making out...

 

[eclipsh]

What, you affraid of a little man-love? I was just trying to avoid being a prick. *cough cough*


Oh yeah, TotalEclipse, if those threads don't answer your questions do post again. We'll help, you just need to do some research first.

 

[Doug99RS]

Not at all.

And that is why I dont turn My pc on when I am cranky. I hate to start too much trouble.

And BTW., a chiltons has a MASSIVE trouble shooting section as well.

Actually, I was at work, bored And having a bad night. If I had been at home I'dve been happy and having a beer. (how the heck do you spell I would have as a contraction?)

Has anyone else noticed that the orignal poster hasn't replied to this once? I think we're talking to our selves here.

I'd Have or I would've. Or I'd'uh had'uh beer

Nah, I don't use much "uh" in my speech. I'm a Wisconsin/South-West hybrid so I skip most of the gutteral sounds.

Still, I really wanted to spell that as one word like it is frequently used in speech. Darn the limitations of written english! I'll just coin "I'd've" and patent it.


You know, I'd feel bad about abusing this thread but I think it's dead anyway.


OH, and I'm bored at work again. Hotel jobs suck when it is slow.

You could always find an empty room and something warm to snuggle up against for a few.

 

[eclipsh]

...but occupied rooms already HAVE something warm to snuggle up to....

That's funny right thar, I don't care who ya are.
