This isnt even my car, but a friend has a Honda and when she puts the car into any of the gears or reverse the car dosent go anywhere at all... no movement at all.. she said its like the car is in nuteral or something... Is this the clutch.. she said it really hasnt been bad but to just go like that.. any ideas?

Thanks guys,
Chris

 

if she can put the the car into gear and it goes no where its the clutch.does it go into gear without grinding or what.....need a little more help here.

 

Hey..
Thanks.. Ill have to give her a call.. she did say it went into gear but just didnt go anywhere?

 

So it doesn't stall if she's in any gear? could be a clutch/pressure plate issue

 

this happend to one of my friends integra i dont remember exacly but i think it was the driveshaft or something snapped out of place and every gear was just like neutral tell her to take it to a shop or the dealer

 

if it goes in gear but doesnt go anywhere its a burnt clutch... if it doesnt even go in gear and all it does is grind its a blown trans. lets just hope its the clutch for her own sake

 

im telling you there was absolutely nothing wrong with his cluch or drivetrain something just came loose im pretty sure it was the driveshaft but i cant remember but all they did was pop it back into place and it was good as new

 

nah, put some tranny oil in it and it should roll. There is no clutch in an automatic

 

could possibly be the linkage.

 

Actually yes there is, its just one you dont operate. It is an automatic clutch, hence the term "Automatic" in Automatic transmissions.

 

low clutch fluid?

 

no there is no clutch in an automatic car. Automatic cars have Torque Converters which is sort of like a "blade" in a enclosed area that turns another "blade" by liquid. If your low on trans fluid there will be no liquid in the converter to transfer the energy. Thats why i said it could be low on fuild and thats why cars dont go when there is no trans fluid in the trans.

 

lol, you need to seriously do your research on Automatic transmissions...

I suggest you visit www.howstuffworks.com homeboy, it might teach ya something...

The Torque Converter
"The key to the modern automatic transmission is the torque converter. It takes the place of a clutch in a manual transmission. "

sorry homeboy but i think it is you that needs to research how an automatic transmission works.

 

n first gear, the front planetary gear is engaged, locking onto the input shaft. Think of this as the low gear on your bicycle. The gear ratio here is 2.46:1. This gets the car moving.

"Once the car is rolling, the transmission shifts into second. The intermediate band is applied, holding stationary the high clutch drum, the reverse clutch, and the sun gear. The forward clutch is applied, locking the input shaft to the ring gear. The gear ratio here is 1.46:1."

In high gear, the ratio goes to 1:1. All planetary gear members are locked to each other and to the output shaft.

"In reverse mode, the reverse and high clutch is applied. The input shaft is locked to the reverse and high clutch drum, the input shell, and the sun gear. Gear ratio for reverse is 2.17:1."

These are the basic workings or a Simpson transmission.

Oh yes, there are no clutches of ANY sort in an Automatic Transmission.

Im done debating with you.
