So, my transmission on my car is fubar'd.
Car is a 01 V6 Camaro with a manual transmission. The transmission will shift fine with the car off, but will not shift with the car on. I was told it might be a switch on the pedal that's either broken or messed up somehow. Anyone got other ideas? |

1-Does it shift when the car is turned off and you use the clutch?? Does it shift when car is off and you don't use clutch??
2-Can you leave it in first when car is off then push clutch in and start it up?? 3-If 2 works can you release clutch to go?? 4- if 3 works can you clutch in and shift? or just pull it out of first after letting off the gas? |

Is it really that hard to write "transmission" instead of "tranny"? These thread titles are so misleading. |

Arfcom tranny experts!
Like anyone would be dumb enough to admit that... |

Something in the clutch assembly had failed. Clutch fork, master cylinder, slave cylinder, pressure plate, something. Start with checking the clutch master cylinder and ensuring it's full of fluid. If it is, shimmy under the car while someone works the clutch pedal, checking to see if the slave cylinder is moving the clutch fork.

What if you put it in gear with the engine off, then start the engine, what happens?

I've changed out everything with new parts. Master/slave cylinder, pressure plate, flywheel. |

How many miles?
Sounds like it is time to drop the trans, and it seems like you have the knowledge.. Throw out bearing? Clutch disc? Might just need a new clutch. Rob |

If that's the case then your clutch seems to be not fully disengaging from the flywheel. To even start the engine, the clutch cannot be engaged much at all since the drive-train will stop the crank from spinning. Obviously you know what you're doing so I'm just asking these questions to clarify it for me. |

Rob Eh, I've already changed most everything under there. The slave cylinder I bought came with a spring that was a bit shorter than the original one, could that be it? |

You know you've posted on ARFcom for far too long when you read "Arfcom tranny experts!" as "Arfcom tyranny experts!"

Rob Eh, I've already changed most everything under there. The slave cylinder I bought came with a spring that was a bit shorter than the original one, could that be it? It's been many years since I wrenched, but, again, how many miles? It sounds like you have changed a lot of parts, and if it is high mileage, has the clutch disc and T/O bearing been changed? You have to remove the transmission to change those. If this is low mileage and you swapped the slave for whatever reason, the shorter spring would have caused the problem right away I would think. It is a return spring, so I think you might have slippage (once in gear and driving). It would have started right away as I said. Also, like I said, it has been years since I wrenched. Rob |

Someday all the sexual knowledge I gained living in Brazil will help someone out. This turns out not to be the thread I had hoped.

Your clutch is obviously not releasing. Start there.
Get someone to push the clutch in while you watch the clutch lever on the transmission. Does it look like it's moving the full distance? If not, it's your hydraulic system. If it does move the full distance, then likely the clutch fork is bent or something. RF |

Did "this" happen right after you changed the slave and used this shorter spring, or is "this" a high end clutch? Have you tried changing the spring back, or is that not doable? I get the feeling you are not telling us everything, possibly probably accidently. Are you souping this thing up or what? Car repair diagnosis is hard enough when the car is in the drive. I'm on my computer. Rob |

OP you should Google up some info on Blown Tranny...I'm sure that'll have all kinds of information. Make sure to use image search too, it'll help when you try to find out why you have a leaky tranny.
