clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

I swapped a D16Z6 into my hatch, and now the tranny that worked for the past year isn't working right.
The tranny is a 89' DX tranny that came with the car. I used the 93' flywheel and clutch stuff.
I can put it in any gear and let off the clutch and the car doesn't move, the rpms only drop like 200rpm max. I reused the throw-out bearing from the D15b2.. I already tried adjusting the clutch cable in about 10 different places and now I dropped the tranny, but don't know what to look for, I'm a engine/turbo crazy mofo, but the little things I'm still learning on.

Any comments on possable cause or what to check would be great.

88 clutch diff from 89,89 diff from 90+(pritty shure) the 90+ flywheel clutch is bigger than 89 use the same clutch and flwheel for the tranny u are using

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

if you used the clutch bigger then the flywheel that could be the reason, and your in for another clutch disk :)

the trani went on fine? like theres no gap between engine and tranny?

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

yea the tranny bolted right up fine.
I thought you were supposed to match the clutch/presure plate with the flywheel that you use, not the tranny. Is that right ?

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

the 90+ clutch has a larger diameter then the 89 flywheel.

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

I used the 93' flywheel that came on the motor with the 93' clutch/presure plate.

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

the splines on the clutch disk and the output shaft lined up perfect ????

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

I'm guess they are pretty close to perfect, the inputshaft when right into the motor...

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

I had the same problem with my 88 dx hatch and a 95 SOHC Vtec ZC i used, Had to use the stock dx flywheel and clutch on the transmission. But in my case the tranny would not even go in to the block, so after I changed the parts in went right in perfect.

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

Hmm I guess you have another problem, cause with the '93 flywheel and '93 clutch it should work...open the tranny and look for broken stuff hehe..

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

you know what, I just re-read that and now im confused.

Motor = d16z6. the 89 DX tranny worked fine using 93 clutch/flywheel.

what tranny are u trying to put in????

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

He already has the DX tranny in the car with '93 Z6 flywheel and the '93 clutch, he said it ran ok..it should.
But now has problems with it.

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

tranny ran good for over a year... Put 93' Z6 in and now, it won't move...
89' DX tranny ( didn't even grind ), and 93' flyW./clutch/presure plate.

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

hmmm maybe you did sumting wrong...I know that when your axles aren't inserted all the way in the tranny...the axles won't turn. You need to click it in pretty hard and you musn't be able to pull them out by hand

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

true i had to "ram: mine in there pritty hard slide undernieth that thing and see if the axles are against the tranny

Re:clutch problem, hybrid D drivetrain
 

I had one pop out on me and my car wouldn't move. It scared the ---- out of me. Good advice. I'll bet $5 that is what it is.

I hope so b/c I'm going to put it back together and see if any of my friends can figure it out by "what its doing". I was the only one to see/feel what it was doing, but I don't know jack about honda clutch stuff.
