Gear Change Woes

Recommended Posts

paul_portsmouth

ive had the car about 3 weeks now and it seems like the clutch bite point is too low ( it has to be on the floor and even then feels like it isnt disengaging the engine)

 

biut recently it has become very hard to get it into 1st and out of first into second when it does go in there is a rather loud noise ( like when going into reverse you sometimes get )

 

has anyone had this before??

Sounds like your clutch cable needs adjusting, also check if your gearbox is loose as this happened to me on my 309.

i had a similar problem on my car and it turned out one of the clutch shock isolation springs had been knocked out and was flying around it the clutch, it was hard to select 1st and 2nd at first but eventualy i couldnt select gear at all and had to be towed home!!

is the gear stick sloppy? just changed the gear linkages on mine and it goes in to gear far easilier now, also had similar problems before, just prior to the clutch cable snapping, hope this helps a bit.
