Let my car get up to temperature yesterday, so the fan was kicking in...?

Took It for a drive..? came back...! let it idol for a while, Basically the car was RED HOT

Sat in the car, put the clutch in went to put it in to reverse, and got a load of cogs chewing together.... OK :shock:

Took it out, tried first......wouldn't engage, once again aload of chewing cogs...?

WHAT DO YOU REKON GUYS...?

New Clutch..? if so..., what to do rekon to the K-tec uprated Clutch

Gear Box...? If so...., I am in need of the forum for a gearbox :shock:

[VIPERONE]

try put it in first before you engage reverse. and / or adjust your gear linkage.

check fan is engaging and coolant is in good order

[MAXIBOY]

sounds like a clutch cable fault.

[Coops]

manifold heat sheild is there, and clutch cable is spot on, i did it! :lol:

never had box/clutch issues atall before, sure ur pushin the clutch pedal all the way down? get down the gym n sort that left leg out! :lol:

[mike16valver]

I tried it again today and clutch was fine, np selected every gear np,

May be clutch cable getting abit stick & hot,

Ha Ha coops, couple more press's of that clutch my muscles will be ripping out my leg, lmao :lol:

Clutch take-up point can sometimes drop lower when the engine is running hot. In some case, it might even drop below the floorboards. If it really bothers you, you can try adding a small spacer on the clutch cable to shorten the slack. But not too much, as that may cause the clutch to not fully engage.

[Coops]

dont put a spacer in, it will snap the cable, did it to that car ages ago and thats another reason the old cable went after 100 odd miles!

[MatBrown]

Floor mat hadn't slipped under the pedal had it?


Mat.

[mike16valver]

Fair do's...

I will run it as it is for now, see what happens, if it does get stuck again i will look in to the cable, although i have been told that it might be my pressure plate....?
