i have a 2003 honda civic ex coupe, 1.7l sohc motor

ok. i am having the problem of my clutch pedal is very stiff or hard to press, and when the car is running i can not get the car to go into gear at all.

i can start the car in a gear though and it will automatically start taking off from a dead stop.

i can move thru the gears fine when the car is not running as well.

Try a tranny fluid drain and fill. See if that helps at all.

Could be a number of problems otherwise: synchros, bearings, etc..

thats what i was gonna do. i was just seeing if i could get some more ideas on here.

any ideas on what would make it sound like its just spinning, like if i am driving and i am slowing down and push the clutch in, almost like its not engaging kinda thing, it just sounds like the clutch or a bearing is just spinning around inside

so i found out what it was. it had a daikon clutch in it and it was a dual spring, well one set of springs was completely gone and then one was starting to break. put a act street performance clutch and Pres plate in it, new throw out bearing, and its good ot go now.

but what would cause the springs to just break like that?

RU the first owner? bad clutch habits could do that
