Help Clutch not engaging, I think?
Full story;
I lost the ability to get the car to get in gear. Towed home. Suspecting the shift cables, I went under there and found one out of the mount, I got it back in the mount and secured with cable tie. It seems from the seat that I am hearing expected sounds from below. Order two clips from our sponsors and ready to install. While it sounds like the cables are moving things, when I engage clutch, big nothing, apparently not in gear. I am wondering about clutch hydraulics, fluid level is good and no apparent leakage. Truly not looking forward to clutch slave job, clearances are tough. Any thought on what I may of missed? Sometimes my brain fails under stress. David |
What do you mean, "apparently not in gear"?
Do you mean that after pressing the clutch, putting it in 1st, and releasing the clutch the car goes nowhere? In any gear? Like it's in neutral? If so, you're probably barking up the wrong tree. I'd first check your 1/2 axles, make sure neither of them came loose. If one comes loose (there have been stories of the bolts coming off) the car would act like it's not in gear. If you're pressing the clutch but you can't push the stick into gear, (while the engine is running) then there's an issue with the clutch. Maybe something with the hydraulics. |
One reason could be that the cables did get misaligned (or changed the locations at the gearbox connection) while you swapped the clips and do not encage the gears now.

thanks, I will get trying.
What I meant was that, although the in cockpit it feels like I am selecting gear, however when I release clutch, the car does not move.
Anything is possible when my heart rate is up because my baby is down. I will look at the shifter end of the cables. Thanks again! David |
