no gears??

[Dangerous Dave]

hi all just finished a rebuild on the engine an put a hks clutch on it.
iv put the car back together an now i have no gears at all!!
any ideas what it could be??
cheers dave.

did you forget to put the clutch plate in? lol
get some1 to press in clutch and watch to see if your fork is moving properly. You can't really fit a clutch incorrectly can you? i mean its faily easy, if its not alligned properly then the box wont go on so you must have built it right if its all bolted up properly.
How you mean you have no gears though, as in you cant select a gear? or you put it in gear and nothing happens when u lift clutch?

 

[Dangerous Dave]

no gears at all i jacked the car up put in to 1st an the wheels still spin!

 

[Dangerous Dave]

update fork is moving how it should.

 

[jjs]

is this the original box you are using, are you shure the box is a good one,

 

[Dangerous Dave]

ye its the original box it was fine befor the rebuild no knocks or bangs it would go in to every gear with no crunching

you definately put the friction plate in? have you put the shafts in correctly? have you connected the prop up properly? put the car in first with all four wheels on the ground and start the engine. its should move forward on the starter. that will rule out a clutch plate problem.

 

[Dangerous Dave]

the shafts are in right and the prop. iv put it in gear an started it up an it dosnt move.
the friction plate is in aswell.

 

[rx jamie]

is it the right way round? was the clutch brand new? did the clutch come with the springs loaded ready for fitment. ie was it clamped in the disengaged posistion? if so did you remove the clamps?

 

[Dangerous Dave]

ye moved all clamps an its in the right way around!

 

[rx jamie]

i'll assume it was brand new then. erm im stuck. so the fork is disengaging the clutch? definately? you can see the clutch move by looking through the clutch fork gater hole? and the clutch is definately making contact with the flywheel and pressure plate when the clutch pedal isnt pressed?

 

[Dangerous Dave]

ye sorry its brand new. just had alook an everything seems to be right!

 

[rx jamie]

so you can put it in any gear and push it down the road with ease?

 

[Dangerous Dave]

ye you can put it in gear an push it down the road.

the only time i have ever had anything like this happen is when the friction plate sheered on a shitty techniclutch in a car i'd brought,

you have remembered to reconnect the gear shift havn't you ...lol

 

[rx jamie]

was thinking that lol. is the shifter stabiliser arm done up aswell.

 

[Dangerous Dave]

ye its done up well i will go have a look tho.

 

[Dangerous Dave]

yep all done up!

 

[projectgtir]

had this happen to me in my swift .you could put it in gear without using the clutch and it wouldnt stall while wheels were on the ground. one off the driveshafts had broken .Try looking underneath or above to see if one of them is moving while the car is in gear if it is thats the one thats broken.hope this helps.

 

[Dangerous Dave]

thanks i will drop it down an have a look.had a look an none of them are moving.
the only thing i didnt change was the thrust bearing! could this have anything to do with it i hope you say no lol.
