nothing to do with transmission oil levels
It has everything to do with the clutch operation not fully disengaging
possible air in system, problem clutch master cylinder
if the system has not had replacement slave and master cylinder since new , replace with new items
other more serious problems include clutch plate linings , oil/ grease on linings and spigot bearing / bush seizing on the gear box input shaft and not allowing the shaft to stop spinning when the clutch is disengaged
Tests are simple
if when using the clutch , there is no shuddering, slipping etc then the plate is eliminated as a problem and that leaves the spigot bush/ bearing
the fix here is the box out and clutch removal so do the hydraulic system first as it is the cheapest
A clutch issue youtend to have more of an engagement problem with 1st and reverse gear for a small time period before you notice other gears.You want to check the clutch hydrolic system for any leaks(clutch slave at transmission,clutch master,which you look for leakage on interior above clutch pedal)and at fluid resevoir.you also want to double check condition of trans fluid. strongly recommend using only HONDA BRAND MANUAL TRANS. FLUID when doing maintinance,fluid should be replaced every 30k on this car.The Honda brand fluid is like night and day on these cars,it WILL make a difference in shifting!!TRust Me on this point! Sorry now back to your main clutch issue,when driveing and you go to shift gears and normally notice grinding,with clutch pedal in shft out of gear and before engageing it into next gear do a double pump of clutch pedal then see if when continuing to next gear if it engagees smoother.if so you know you have without a dout a clutch pressure plate/disc problem. I can tell you that in twenty years the only manual transmissions themselves that ever had problems were due to outside influences(gear oil in transmission,improper driveing,etc.)let me know what you find and we can go from there..JOEL
Get hold of the shop that did the clutch a.s.a.p. It may be flywheel hitting on something, or may only be shield installed improperly or something similar. Don't drive it anymore than you have to & go easy on throttle until they look at it.
not a clutch at this point but a faulty clutch master cylinder or faulty cable
replace the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder or the clutch cable
Indicates that if hydraulic the compensating port in the m/cyl is nor allowing oil to return to engage the clutch or if cable , the cable is shredding and locking in the outer case causing the same result
I AMA MASTER VOLVO ASE TECH AND RUN A JUMPER WIRE FROM A/C COMPRESSOR WITH A/C ON MAX TO POS BATTERY AND SEE IF COMPRESSOR CLICKS ON AND IF A/C RELAY GETS HOT IT IS POSSIBLE A BAD COMPRESSOR OR DOES THE FAN COME ON WITH A/C ENGAGED THE FAN IS A TWO STAGE UNIT ON 850,S ONE IS THE ENGINE TEMP RED AND THE GREEN IS FORTH A/C SYSTEM
The transmission type wasn't specified as to manual or automatic,as both were available on 91-96 Stealth's,but from the complaint,i presume manual trans.If it is the manual trans,5th gear and Reverse gear are usually on the same shift rail.So part of the diagnosis is to pay attention to 5th gear for any problems.Another part of the diagnosis is the clutch pedal and hydraulics that activate the clutch.When the problem is happening,try this:pump the clutch pedal rapidly,and repeatedly,then try to engage Reverse.If it goes right into Reverse,then the clutch hydraulic system needs to be inspected.Good luck.
