No drive
Turbo Mini Forums

Today I wanted to get TDC, put it in gear, could hear and feel it go into gear. I have a remote box and could see the links working. went to roll it but nothing, tried all the gears including reverse still nothing, so I am guessing that I have missed something. I guess something key aswell. but I am sure everything is in.

Before I take the engine out, thought I would ask on here before I do.

what wok, plunger, throw out bearing, clutch system are you using?

there are apparently 2 types of wok one of them binds up and releases the clutch as its bolted up if it has the wrong plunger in

ive only heard of this once and it was with non stock parts though

Yes i moved to the darkside

I was gonna say clutch/arm etc stuck? Had this on my cooper after it sat for years... hammer time...

lube it up and use a leaver if its stuck ? untill you can get it going on the pedal.

I did not know there where different types of wok, so could not say which one I have, I just put the one I had back on.
Clutch wise I have a grey , new clutch and back plate.
I also thought of the plunger last night, so took the tension off.

So thinking now to take the wok off and see if that does anything.

The fault i poster is probabaly the worst case scenario lol, the plunger could just be stuck! I would have thought if you take the weight of the engine and loosen the wok securing bolts around the edge then try to turn a wheel with it in gear
Maybe thats a little fastwr than.diving in there to strip it down

Took wok this morning and no difference. Taking clutch out and guess the clutch housing will need to come off.grrr

clutch is now off. the primary gear is spinning which would confirm I have idler gear in. It is as though it is in neutral all the time. I have tried all the gears and still nothing.

How easy did the flywheel come off and is the keyed washer in one piece ¿

Sounds like a non-existent clutch plate

I had an issue with no drive a while back, just after I had installed my RTS clutch. Stripped it all down to check, but all was ok.
Turned out one of the retaining clips had snapped in half on the outer CV joint letting the drive shaft come out of the cv joint.

Just a thought...
