Clutch maybe? No gear selection.
Hey guys - after I finished work tonight I started my car and noticed the clutch was biting way, way down - so far I wasn't sure it was biting at all. I couldn't select any gear either. I turned the car off and then was able to select all gears just fine without depressing the clutch so that ruled the gearbox out. First thing I thought was to check the clutch reservoir which was bone dry, nothing in it at all. So filled that up and started the car, gears worked fine and after a while the bite point returned to normal.
On the way home after 5 miles or so the clutch went to bite by the floor again and I was unable to select any gears. I pulled over, popped the bonnet but the fluid level was fine so got back in the car and it seemed alright again so drove home. Thing is, since it went funny on the drive home the bite point has fluctuated between normal and way low.
I figure maybe there's a bubble in the system somewhere so I'll take the cap off tomorrow morning and pump the clutch like hell then try taking her for a drive. If this is not the case does anyone have an idea of what's going on?
Cheers.

You must have a leak for all your fluid to dissapear, its probably the clutch slave cylinder thats gone. Its mounted on the front of the gearbox, if it has blown then there will probably be fluid dripping off the bellhousing, if not pull the boot back to see if its wet inside.
If there is no fault there then it may be the master cylinder, check the clutch pedal to see if there is fluid dripping down it.
The other option is the hose has burst, but if that happened then you would empty the system very quickly after only one or two clutch operations.
Also after refilling the reservoir you will need to bleed the system by opening the nipple on the slave cylinder and pushing the pedal up and down untill all the air is out.

advice needed plaese
i am having an ongoing dispute with my local tuner about the parts i am putting in my pulsar. for starters i have bought some HKS 264 cams, SARD 660cc injectors, HKS headgasket. The problem is that he doesnt think my standard gearbox will handle the power i am running at the minute let alone after there fitted!! lol. We reckon that i am running 330bhp!!! but we do not know for certain lol. i am looking for 400bhp. he also said that my turbo is 'spiking'????? we put a boost controller on to see what it is boosting at, and it is boosting at 1.5BAR!!!! i know this is a lot but why is it boosting this high when it has never been on a rolling road or had a controller fitted prior???? is this slowly killing my engine???? We have the engine in bits and i am really worried that i am going to get it back together and test drive it and blow the gearbox to pieces!!! i would like to know what parts and set ups the 400bhp boys are using as this would really help me with my project. lol. also are there any horror stories to go with searching for 400bhp. i know the quaffe gearbox is the one of choice. any other choices that will handle this without having to remortgage the house..lol.. would these parts i am looking to put in work together??? i have been without my pulsar for nearly two months now and it is starting to annoy me lol. what power do you all think i am runnig with......
WALBRO 255lph fuel pump
PIPERCROSS induction kit
3'' exhaust system with standard elbow and HKS downpipe
HUGE frontmounted intercooler
BAILEY dumpvalve
HKS heat range 8 spark plugs
all the rest of the parts are OE at the moment but she is still boosting at 1.5BAR!!
any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
THANKS alex

gearbox is a gamble at that figure! its the torque lbft that will kill it not the bhp.
as for the bits you have fitted, other than exhaust, none of those bits will really increase your bhp figure! but the boost will. however 1.5 on a standard tubby is too much and something will let go eventually unless your fuelling and ignition are spot on, even then the turbo's life will be hugely reduced.

You’re not going to hit 400bhp with a standard turbo - that’s for sure.
Have a look in the FAQ's for noobs some of what you are asking is in there.
400bhp is achievable on a standard engine, but as stated you need to ensure your engine management is spot on and a new turbo :roll:
*oh and get rid of the standard turbo elbow, get a custom 3" one made to suit

yeah ill give you some advice, get 8k and do it properly.
2k quaiffe,3k engine,grand 3071 2k further mods to accompany those mentioned,and you will need brakes as well for 400 .single piston callipers,
you might as well put a bullet in a gun .spin the barrel, put it to your temple and pull the trigger

If there are no other boost mods and your standard tubby is blowing 1.5Bar, would this not suggest its running unlimited boost? Have you checked the solenoid for a little drill hole in it? This is a fairly well hidden cheap (free!) way of increasing boost. 
You have a serious problem if you have no boost mods and your turbo is running 1.5bar. Turbo will start spitting the dummy out soon, and might start taking bits of your new engine with it! :roll:

Hi mate the same happend to my mates and it was the reverse spring, the spring is cheap enough but getting it fitted is the costly bit
