Transmission problem
1990 Honda Accord 4 cyl Manual 130000 miles
I'm trying to determine if I need to replace the clutch kit only, or if the master cylinder should be replaced as well. When I attempt to put the car in gear, it shifts like it should, but the gear doesn't engage. The engine remains in neutral, no matter what gear I try. The clutch pedal is offering the proper resistance, the shifter moves smoothly between gears, and there is observable movement from the clutch when gears are shifted - the gears just don't grab. I recently replaced the slave cylinder (after getting in the car one morning to a mushy clutch pedal), and I have checked that the line is properly bled, not leaking fluids, and that the reservoir is full. I checked all the line connections for the clutch and tranny and whatnot, and everything looks good. So, is it just a new clutch kit I need, or should I replace the master cylinder as well? I am new to this whole self car maintenance thing, so please explain in layman terms. Thanks!
