SR20 won't go in gear when car is on? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I posted this in the chat section originally, but probably should of posted it here.

CAR: s14 sr20 notch back. car is under 300whp and has a ACT 6 puck clutch.

Ok so to make a long story short I was in an argument in a mall parking lot and in a rage I peeled off like a mad man. I parked else where, shut off the car, and chilled for 15 minutes. I hopped back in the whip started it up and went to put it in gear but it wouldnt. I tried reverse and I could only manage to force it in but the car stalled immeadiately as if I just pulled my foot off the clutch. It will go into all gears when the car is off though. Its night and I dont have a garage so I didnt really get to check it out, but it seemd like the master and slave were working fine. I'll check it tomorrow in the light, but this is my daily and i got work on monday=(

Any ideas on what it can be?

I know this isn't what you want to hear and hopefully this isn't what is wrong. But the last time I had a problem with a car like this it ended up being the clutch. When I pulled the clutch it had a few broken fingers on the pressure plate. I replaced the clutch and pressure plate and it worked fine. Hopefully this isn't what happened to your car.
