Hard to change gears my car is Honda prelude stick shift.?

hi, i have recently changed my clutch, and it did not fix the problem.



what might be the reason? before my Honda prelude 1998 use to shift flawlessly! but now, i have to fight with it most of the times to change, it doesn't go in easily!



do you think if i change engine oil, it will fix it? how about transmission oil? please provide some detail to your answer and kinda give me step by step instruction PLZ.





any help would be appreciated!Hard to change gears my car is Honda prelude stick shift.?
I'm assuming you checked the transmission oil? I usually change the fluid when I do the clutch.



No, engine oil has nothing to do with shifting.Hard to change gears my car is Honda prelude stick shift.?
Are you having trouble with the Clutch disengaging it, or are you having problems shifting the transmission from one gear to another? If the clutch is disengaging properly and you are having trouble with the gear changes, it could be your Shift Linkage or Shifter itself. These do not last forever. Another problem could be the Syncronizers in the transmission is it is not going into gears with out rakeing, or grinding.
You need to make adjustments on you clutch cylinder...

They will have a rod going thru the firewall from the clutch pedal....Look at this area,you will see a threaded rod on the back of the clutch pedal,adjust this rod toward the front of the car.

This will push the clutch further away from the pressure plate,making it easier to shift.
your honda may have a hydraulic clutch. it works similar to how the brakes work. you push the pedal, the pedal pushes oil into a cylinder at the clutch which engages the clutch. check the oil level in the clutch oil reservoir. your mechanic should have checked it first.
If the clutch is hydraulic you might need to replace the master cylinder.
