Electrical Gremlins in the Blower Circuit?

Was on a drive the other day and on the way home, my gauges started going crazy. The tach dropped to 300 rpm, the brake light came on in the dash, the oil pressure gauge is pinned past the H, the Temp Gauge wont go past 1/4 of the gauge and the Blower motor turned itself off. Once I got home I check...

Re: Clutch pedal out but car wont move

UPDATE: The 86 is alive!! It runs. It drives. When I put it into gear it moves as it should. I honestly don't know what was the root cause. I didn't do anything different this time around as far as installation of the clutch goes, besides the new clutch and clutch fork. I can't wait to get it out th...

Re: Clutch pedal out but car wont move

When you unbolt the trans from the engine, does it seem to push itself away from the block & open up the gap as you're loosening the last bolt, Like it is spring loaded? IIRC, someone once had a thingy that the release/throwout bearing is pressed onto that was too big/long & caused similar ...

Re: Clutch pedal out but car wont move

Well, more bad news unfortunately. I went to look over all the parts before installation and I found that one of the prongs on the clip that sits between the clutch fork and pivot ball had broken off.... Probably not a big deal, but I'd like to do the job right. https://i.imgur.com/uXyQXgJ.jpg Just ...

Re: Clutch pedal out but car wont move

If the clutch plate is clamped to the flywheel, the gearbox input shaft will be turning when the engine is running. If the input shaft is turning it will not be possible to move the gearlever out of neutral without a lot of ugly noises. If the clutch plate is not clamped to the flywheel when the en...

Re: Clutch pedal out but car wont move

I say the first two responses are your best shot. You obviously have an issue in between your gear shift selection, and the input into the engine via the transmission. You also should get under the car (with someone else depressing the clutch) and verify that there is movement in the fork, engaging...

Re: Clutch pedal out but car wont move

Driveshaft in place? Missing clutch disk? This sounds pretty much impossible to happen otherwise, at least not with out a lotta noise from a clutch disk that's separated from its hub. I'm clueless. Good luck. Driveshaft is present and accounted for and the clutch disk was right where i installed it...

I believe it is, the flat side facing the flywheel right? When bolted up, the clutch assembly moves with the flywheel.

Re: Clutch pedal out but car wont move

Very odd indeed. You may have missed the pilot bearing that sits in the end of the crankshaft on an AE86, the MR2's don't have this bearing. It is there to support the gearbox input shaft. I doubt it would be the cause of your particular problem unless the input shaft needle bearings are particular...

Clutch pedal out but car wont move

Hello everyone, I seem to have run into a wall with this clutch problem I've been having and hope someone can shine some light on it. (This will be a somewhat lengthy post) But first, a bit of history about the car: It is a 1987 Corolla GT-S (RWD) and had been running well when purchased 5 years bac...
