Clutch/gearbox prob?

[paulwilliams3]

Hi guys rebuilt my engine but I'm having trouble with the gears., it won't go into gear(any) when running.new clutch new cable ,new pedal mech. I'm stumped only thing I can thing is an incorrect clutch fitment?

Any ideas would be great.. Cheers

It may just be the clutch has been put in backwards. Easy enough to do.

well if you'e done all the other stuff it's looking more likely to be incorrect fitment, possible wrong clutch as well, happened to me once

[-jo-]

just a question, how long between the rebuild and re-start the car ? I'm asking this because 2 weeks ago i had the same problem with a 19 16v who stood in the corner for 2 years.

On iddle impossible to select a gear, tought the bearing or pressureplate was gone. Did a jumpstart (1 gear and give it a go), problem solved, the clutch sticking because it was not used for 2 years.

Its worth the try before you take the gb back off. If it dont work, then i'm affraid the friction plate sits backwards.

Good luck.
