R32, Wont Get Into Any Gears

[rb2?]

hey guys, yestur arvo i was driving around when i noticed my gears started crunchin alot, thought it was a random. but untill i got to set of lights and couldnt get into 1st, i wrestled with it a bit and finally got it into gear after a good crunch and thud. Later on i noticed i couldnt get into 2nd same thing a thud and LOUD CRUNCH. Then lost 3rd, 4th but sadly not 5th lol. i was wondering if its my standard clutch which cannot handle my diff and over time the 2way lsd has worn it out completly that its gone. i didnt notice any oil leakage or clutch smell, a mate said it could be my syncros but not sure. Now car is undrivable

BTW the clutch does catch rite at top of the paddle, and did drive it like that for ages

Could it be:

Clutch

Gearbox oil, or gearbox

Short shift kit

Ne help appreciated thanks.

i would start with clutch slave cylinder actually. can you start the car in neutral and then put it in gear without a crunch

No i cant start it like that, i can put it into gear without it started then start the car ?

Sounds like "new gearbox" time. Why did you continue driving after the problem began?

Can you select gears while the engine isn't running?

yeah only when the engines off, before i thought the clutch was failing but it seems a bit worse now

well Rb25 box be the way to go, im looking at hitting the car sideways on the track.

CHEERS for all ur replies

if you can change gears with engine off and cant get it into gear with engine running, car not moving and clutch pedal down, it is probably your clutch slave cylinder, clutch line leaking or dead master cylinder. or possibly broken pivot for the fork inside the bellhousing. can you see any fluid in the master cylinder? can you put the car up on stands and get someone to watch the slave cylinder while you push the clutch? it should move the fork a couple of cm.
