Hi,
Car came to a stop last week when I couldn't select any gear. I was able to select gears when the engine was turned off however.
I replace the clutch, pressure plate and release bearing.
Now I still have the exact same problem.
Did i get a new faulty pressure plate?
Any ideas?

1999 1.1 206.
The teeth or springs on the new pressure plate are slightly up on one side.

what do you mean by you can't select any gear?
you can't move the gear stick? it can move but it won't go into gear?

Hi,
Yea, with the engine off the car will go into gear. But when the engine is running I cannot get the gearstick to select any gear.

does the clutch cable need to be adjusted after the new clutch is fitted? or is it self adjusting?

No it's all one cable and does it itself
Could be the syncromesh in the gearbox

does the clutch pedal make a clicking kind of noise when pressed? could be the cable then, the springs in the adjuster can mess up and not release. same thing happened to me and it was a new cable job

hi, i fitted the LUK clutch kit and hey presto it works. BUT it isn't right. The release point on the clutch is extremely high and in each gear when i hit about 3000 revs it just revs out beyond that itself but no power. any ideas?

could that be related to the high release point and stiffness on the pedal? cable related?
