Blown Gear Box?

[Ruffels]

hey guys

just got car back from mechanics today fixing the headgasket i blew

..

thats all sweet

but driving the car around today for a few hours, and the change into 3rd gear from 2nd and then the change from 3rd to 4th gear were extreamly stiff.. andyways ... cruising up a steep hill in 3rd, need the exra oumfff to get up the hill.. so i go to change down to 2nd

and i get nothing... i got the car out of 3rd gear, but then i couldnt get it back into any gears what so ever

i managed to get the stick into what felt like 1st gear... but the car didnt go anywhere... it jus reved out

initially i thought i' done the clutch, but after a couple of minuted i manged to well and truely force it inot what feels like 3rd gear and limp it the 4km home... was just lucky i didnt get any red traffic lights lol

what could it be causing me to not be able to get the car into gear

i know the mechanics didnt do anything, because i was helping them do the head gasket replacement the whole time and nothing was touched

any ideas?

does the clutch pedal feel normal when u push it?

[T04GTR]

umm. did they pull the motor out?

like. has the box got oil in it?

it sounds like you got a leaky slave cly or clutch master. have you got a clutch pedal?

[Ruffels]

yeah cluch is fine still nice and solid like normal

i was there helping the mechanic (girl friends dad) fix the headgasket, gearbox wasnt touched and engine was left in place

although not long after i got it back the car would not move while turning at low speeds (car is a r32 gts-4) and the torque gauge was going off tap

i didnt want to have to deal with it for the time being so i just pulled the fuse and ran the car in 2wd and those problems stopped

that night the problems i mentioned in my first post happened

the slave cyl reivour is plenty full and i even drove home in 3rd gear, so the clutch itself is fine too.

just getting in and out of gears was the issue

just went out to the car a minute ago to see if i could move the gear stick... nothing pretty much the only movement i get from it is a slight up and down movement, cant even get that nice side to side movement you get while in neutral

is there a selctor or linkage inside the box that could be broken... i have no idea whats going on!

thanks

Chances are its a selector problem.

Looks like its going back to the workshop for some more knuckle skinning.

ouch, I hate skinned knuckles.

I'm no expert on gearboxes, but i've read numerous threads in the past where similar symptoms have been a reuslt of selector issues.
