t5 wont go into gear with the car on

urban96 · Sep 2, 2005

i just swapped a t5 into my car and it wont go into gear with the car running, with the car off i can row threw all the gears just fine.

i tried putting it in gear then starting it but when i let the clutch out i get nothing

could i possibly have a fox t5? i never measured the imput shaft before i put it in but the guy i bought it from said it was out of a 94 and the bell housing, & clutch fork fit just fine. driveshaft went in all the way... i dunno

what kind of shifter is on it? if you have an aftermarket shifter, you may have to re-adjust the stops on it.

after you put your clutch and what not in and hooked up your cable, did you sit in your car and physically pull your clutch pedal TOWARDS you with your toes until it popped?

i dont know what that is called, but i know you have to do that after you hook up your clutch cable

are you using an adjustable cable? I'd try that first, assuming you have one. One time I put my shifter in wrong...didn;t get the ball in the socket on the rail...just a thought
good luck man

its not grinding or anything... just wont go into gear... and when i put it in gear with the car off and start it i get a wierd whirling sound

what kind of clutch you using. I had this same problem on one of my racen cars. It turned out that it was a combination of a flywheel that had been resurfaced too many times, and a clutch disk that was slightly thicker than the specs called for. It is definately a clutch problem though.

new FMS HD clutch... seemed like it was pretty tight when i bolted the pressure plate down

Flywheel is not moving with the car off right?

Will the car roll (if pushed) while it is in gear?

im gonna try that today, got too dark to do anything else lastnight

got if figured out, stupid cable was way too lose, tightend it up and orderd an adjustable firewall piece from UPR

Good deal. How ya' like the T-5? You were AODE before, right?

I need to get an adjustable firewall piece. How much did you fork out for that? A guy from corral wants to sell me his Jeg's (2 pieces) for $20.00 never used. I went & bought some parts from him, but not that, because I didn't know how much they go for......

i got the $30 piece from UPR, i think its their new design with locking screws
