My car has a new battery but won't crank?
As I turn the engine on there's no click but the lights on the dashboard works. When we do try to jump the battery the starter wants to crank but as soon as we remove the jumper wires no crank nor a click, any advise?

Make certain the plastic cap that is on the battery post of the new battery is off the battery post. It sounds as though you do not have good contact between the battery post and battery terminal. Pull the battery terminals and clean them if necessary. Try to determine why you are not getting good contact.
- Bought a 1985 Honda inspector kid told me it needed new battery but started with jump got new battery and it was dead next day? Pretty sure its the alternator just wanted some second opinions also I got the bike for 600 dollars you guys think thats a good deal

I will take it to Honda but I'm just curious what this is likely caused by? Loose belt? Tight belt? Pulley issue? No noticeable squealing, just the crank time. Instead of the usual 1-3 seconds, now my car takes about 3-5.
- 97 Honda Civic, new clutch and pressure plate but won't come out of gear and clutch pedal won't release? The clutch feels backwards now, won't switch gears unless the car is off and the pedal is all the way up. When you start it in gear it will not come out of said gear unless you turn the car off. The clutch pedal will get stuck down and the car will roll in whatever gear you put it in, when putting the clutch pedal down is supposed to release the clutch… It does not
