Help!! Clutch not disengaging...why?
OK, I parked my car at my house after driving it and I take my girlfriends car everywhere becuase me and her were hanging out. I get home, try to move my car and it doesn't want to go into gear while the car is on, now when the car is off it will go in gear all it wants. I try to put it in reverse while car is on and it grinds, the rest of the gears don't grind, it just doesn't want to go in. So I checked my resevoir, it was empty..I found the leak, fixed it and bleed the system...still nothing. I bleed it about 50 times, pumped the pedal a few times, opened the bleeder screw to let pressure out while holding the pedal down, and repeated until the fluid wasn't milky anymore or their was a strong stream pushing out. The shift fork moves just fine. I don't know what it could be considering I didn't physically do anything different I just parked it...and it was driving fine. Please help me! I havn't taken the transmission off yet becuase its outside and still cold and its a PITA to remove the tranny. I have a 1992 honda civic and its got a D16Z6 rebuilt in it, brand new clutch has maybe 150 miles on it. Now, there is a small leak I think on my cap to my reservoir would that be causing that much of a pressure difference? It was doing fine with it before...
Cliffnotes:
-car won't go into gear when car is on
-Bleed the clutch system
-Shift fork moves when I push clutch in
