Hard to get in gear
Turbo Mini Forums

Tryed car to day first i could only get revise then with lot of push and pulling found all the gears, but it seems hard and before that i thought i had selected a gear, but could hear a spining noise like had not quiet gone in and wasnt engaging. Its really weird is it anything to do with the cluch not working. It seems easy to push! i thought that was down to springs. Does is cleanace any different cos i followed the 6.5mm out the book. thanx

I tried the car today, at first I could only select reverse, then with alot of pushing and pulling I could select all of the gears, although it seems hard.
Before this it felt like I was selecting a gear, but could hear a 'spinning' noise as if it wasnt fully engaged.

Its really wierd, is it anything to do with the clutch not working?
It seems easy depress the clutch pedal!

I thought that was down to springs (the diaphram?).

Does clearance make any difference, because I followed the 6.5mm as it states in the book.

Thanks

Hi,
If the pedal is easy to press it could well be a hydraulics problem.
Knackered master or slave cylinder?
Just needs more bleeding?
Cheers,

also check to make sure the adjuster for the clutch arm is to big you want about 10 thou here max.
