I considered that but no, angles are nice and nothing has changed since the previous engine was in there and driving 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don’t understand what it could be. the old box shifts through all gears nicely still . dumb is the clutch operating as it should ? had a spigot bearing fail once and jammed itself in the pressure plate. felt like clutch was releasing, but it wasn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHarry Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 @shizzl So the motor starts . And runs fine? And goes into gear in with your foot on the clutch? So the clutch is probbaly fine. And the car rolls round the workshop when the box in in neutral. But you put it in gear and try drive it it jams? What if the driveshaft is out and it's in gear. Does it spin fine? Maybe just take coil wire off and crank on starter so you dont spray gearbox oil everywhere out the back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Just jacked it up, chucked in first and spun it over in gear no ignition. normal. Same in reverse. so the issue is only when it’s running and letting the clutch out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Will try it with the driveshaft out later after the whinging neighbour is gone so I can start it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrstar Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Could the clutch release fork or release bearing be catching on the pressure plate, ie its moved out of the way when the clutch is depressed and gets hung up when released... What sort of noise does it make when it doesn't go? Does it stall the engine when you let the clutch out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No noises, just stalls on release clutch fork and bearing has some movement at rest so feel normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
