ok i looked around and saw a post similar to what i need help on.. but its slightly defferent
so heres the story.... i bought my car a month ago its a 1990. it had grinds in 2nd 3rd and 4th gears but only after the car warmed up
the guy who sold me the car said it was only the car so i purchased an oe exedy clutch and fidanza flywheel
when we removed the installed clutch it was totally wasted. after the mechanic finished the job the clutch pedal was super soft... much softer than i had felt in any of my friends hondas... so i took it out for a spin about 5 mins into the drive i started to feel little nicks in 3rd and 4rth gears... as i got closer to completing the 500 mile break in period the grinds became worse and now it grinds in the same 3 gears as it did when i bought the car... also before i changed the clutch i could hear a spring pop sometimes when i would push in the clutch. since i changed it i have only heard it about twice but not as loud
my first thought was maybe the mechanic left the clutch cable too loose and it wasnt disengaging all the way when i pushed in the clutch
then someone told me it could be the synchros or the clutch cable is bad
i have no idea what the spring noise could be though
any advice or help would be appreciated... sorry for this huge novel haha
