Clutch replacement

[kelvinnoel]

Hi people, I just can't get any gears, I have no problem when the engine is not running so assume the clutch is the problem what I need to know is any tips or possible pit falls ,it's a 3a with a 2.0 pinto and type 9 gearbox , I was hoping for a easy year this time round but the kit car gods seem to have a different plan

When the engine is running what happens when you push the clutch in and try to select a gear.

It just won't engage but the car tries to move forward

its as though the plate is not disengaging but the cable is ok, tight enough

How long is it since you used the car?

Maybe if not for some time then the clutch plate could be stuck to the flywheel.

Try to put the car in gear before starting the engine and see what happens when you crank the engine.

used last weekend ,it has been iffy for a while ,hard to select gear .I do think the clutch plate is not disengaging,so I,m guessing the pressure plate is knackered
