#1: Clutch replaced but still can't select gears Author: sealgaire, Location: asdfgsPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 4:03 am ---- 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?

what car is yours?
#3: Re: Clutch replaced but still can't select gears Author: sealgaire, Location: asdfgsPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 4:24 am ---- 1999 1.1 206.
The teeth or springs on the new pressure plate are slightly up on one side.

you can't move the gear stick? it can move but it won't go into gear?

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.

#7: Re: Clutch replaced but still can't select gears Author: sealgaire, Location: asdfgsPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 5:19 am ---- does the clutch cable need to be adjusted after the new clutch is fitted? or is it self adjusting?
#8: Re: Clutch replaced but still can't select gears Author: Mrs_Howey, Location: WorthingPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 5:21 am ---- Its self adjusting.
#9: Re: Clutch replaced but still can't select gears Author: sealgaire, Location: asdfgsPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 5:27 am ---- ok, clutch cable is only about a year old though. I nearly went mad when it didn't work!
#10: Re: Clutch replaced but still can't select gears Author: sealgaire, Location: asdfgsPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 8:58 am ---- is there a rachet on the clutch cable that allows it to be tighten up? near where it enters the bulkhead?
#11: Re: Clutch replaced but still can't select gears Author: Mrs_Howey, Location: WorthingPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 9:09 am ---- No it's all one cable and does it itself
Could be the syncromesh in the gearbox
#12: Re: Clutch replaced but still can't select gears Author: -RAJ-, Location: COVPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 12:50 pm ---- 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
#13: Re: Clutch replaced but still can't select gears Author: sealgaire, Location: asdfgsPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 3:28 pm ---- 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?
#14: Re: Clutch replaced but still can't select gears Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 3:31 pm ---- looks like the clutch is not engaging properly
#15: Re: Clutch replaced but still can't select gears Author: sealgaire, Location: asdfgsPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 3:52 pm ---- could that be related to the high release point and stiffness on the pedal? cable related?
