tim mate have u lost all gears or just 3rd ???

 

[timmycalvert]

no mate its all gears i just cant get drive to the wheels

either your clutch or your gearbox has gone

have u checked the gear linkage and cable??

 

[sri_alan]

Does it rev whilst in gear? Could a driveshaft have come out, resulting in no power due to the open diff? (Am i talking shit, Simcard, Wayne? lol)

 

[benmenz]

driveshaft wont have come out coz the length of them they can't just come out like that. probs either clutch of gear box fucked

Post in correct sections pls.

i just had a play with the gears and it grinds when i try and put it in 4th but thats it

with the engine on or off?

sounds like your clutch has gone

 

[benmenz]

when was the clutch last replaced

 

[Corbalicious]

Check the gear linkage to see if its come off, the engine to see if its broken a mount (Especially at the back where it mounts to the gearbox)

 

[timmycalvert]

the cluch was changed last year the grinding happens when the engine is on. the linkage aint gone that i have cheaked. i can only think it is the gearbox.

i would be tempted to take it apart and have a look at the clutch. onlt a few hours work iif you know what your doing.

 

[timmycalvert]

thats what i am going to do i am going to find out what is wrong. il let u no what it is

 

[benmenz]

if its not the clutch then it soiunds like gear box
