BizzleEP Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 disconnect the cables from the gearbox 1st mate, and then you'll know if its the cables or the box Quote
Hazzagray Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 ^^^^^x2Soak the cables in WD40 and that should ease them a bit! Quote
jackjohno Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 nar guys its deffo not the cables its asif yano when your clutch is fucked and u cant clear any of the gears its like that but the clutch is fine its a really funny 1 which is wreckin ma head lol Quote
Whitegv Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 my box was like that until second dropped out on sunday lol. was like it ever since i bought it tbh, didnt grind or anything, was just proper tight Quote
TomW Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I am having problems with selection at the moment, had the engine and box out swapped engines and have put a new clutch in, then put it all back together. The only thing I have changed is that I slackened the bracket that fixes the cables to the box. I think I must have reset it in the wrong place. First run out I couldn't get 1st and 2nd. After adjusting it, now I can't get 5th either. I'm hoping that with a bit more fiddling with the bracket, I will get it back working. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a technique to realigning this bracket?I'll report back if this fixes it... Quote

I'll take pics of my bracket and do some basic measurements if this might help? Quote
