Beany GT Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Was just coming back from tesco down Southchurch road, gone to put it into 2nd an wouldn't go, so pulled over, it wouldn't go in any gear, so I switched it off, stressed out etc, an tried again, managed to get it in gear, an get home, but when the clutch is depressed it makes a horrific squeal sound, an it won't reverse at all!!!! Do I need a new box/rebuild!? Help guys, as it's my daily :( Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sefton-EP91 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sounds more like clutch to me mate. Did you have any issues before hand with the clutch? Slipping, juddering etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beany GT Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Nope, with the engine off If I depress the clutch I can get 2nd 3rd 4th 5th an with a bit of pressure reverse an a lot of pressure 1st makes a clunk sound but won't go in.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Gear selector cable snapped ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beany GT Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Could I of got home though... I got it in first, an started the car, upped the revs an got it moving, so took no chances an starting heading home, it went into 2nd an 3rd fine, then as I pulled down my drive, I put my foot on the clutch an reverse just grinds... An I can't get it in first atm, an when I put it in 2nd, with the clutch still depressed it makes a horrible grinding sound, like metal on metal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sounds like release bearing / clutch fork issue. Gonna have to remove the gearbox to investigate.But before that check the cables move freely and that you can select all gears using the selector ontop of the gearbox.

Beany GT Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Would I still of been able to drive it home though? An would that stop me selecting first an reverse? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Sounds a bit like when one of the springs/pressure plate snapped on my TRD clutch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nofear Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 i think it could be something to do with your gear linkage or your clutch went mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beany GT Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 **UPDATE** Just had a chance to have a quick look! When the car is off, it will go in every gear, little push for 5th, but it used to do that! Then I started the car, depressed the clutch, an it made a screeching sound, an won't go in any gear with the engine running, whilst clutch is depressed... So, from what I can work out, I need a new clutch, an possibly flywheel depending what's happened to the clutch? Any ideas guys? Can I do my clutch on my drive easy enough? Thanks in advance!!!

nofear Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 it could be your clutch you can do it in your drive(if the weather helps)! done mine a couple of weeks ago in a couple of hours just recommend you have a mate to help you with the gearbox! its very heavy and i was on my own underneath the car. it felt really heavy. the forum has a nice guide on how to change the clutch very useful!
