how is the clutch pedal?

when they say it won't go into gear, have they tried rocking the car to make sure it isn't just not lined up properly?

was the car transported in neutral or in gear? if it was in neutral then i'd say that is the problem. my mate had a vb commodore and happened to be changing gears when he hit a bump and lost use of that gear for a while due to the selector slipping out of place.

well, the gear goes when you give the cluth and accelarate nothing happens....the car just dont move....anyway looked in the site and made an appoiment with

High tech automotive enchancements @ Wooloongabba, cos there were mention by memebers in the QLD page...

hopefully nothing big cos the clutch was all fine.......ALWAYS.....

good lesson for using cheap car movers..should have used someone like TNT vehicle logostics......lesson learned.

My clutch pedal bracket broke, and thus putting my foot on the clutch and trying to engage in gear it didnt like it, pulled out the clutch lever plus bracket and lookey! the bracket had snapped and i had to get it re welded. Have you looked at that perhaps?

ya, checked the K's, thats the first thing i did....yap...no diference there....

well, hopefully....it not a big thing...cos there was nothing wrong with it....thats why i am soooo...pissed......

but anyway thanks guys.....yes...the service center list helps.......but lot of them are from the north side ha...mind you i did know what was north side and south side till yesterday.......

thanks for the help.....

OK....got the result .... the clutch is gone....as to how it went on top of a car carrier is anyones guess. but atlest thats the problem, i am getting another one fitted for $1100.. hopefully thats the end of my trobles.

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
