NEED HELP = gearbox

[wados]

need help bad i cant put my car into any gear while the car is running and the clutch is only 8 months old, but if the car is turned of i can move it in to any gear, help would be great.

Clutch life is not measured in months or years......but in how much abuse it gets.

sounds like the clutch is not disengaging when you push the peddle in . Chech the fluid reservoir first If you have fluid could be failed master or slave cylender. You can check the slave yourself, its on the drivers side of the gearbox at the front. Jack the side of the car up and have a look while someone works the clutch.... you should see the lever moving.

sounds like you might need to change the fluid on your clutch lines. or maybe youve stripped a gear

i know where to drain the gearbox but where do you fill it back up

More than likely your cluch is not disengaging from the flywheel. Try putting it into gear before starting the car and then start it see if it tries to bunny hop..

Be careful if you have any objects in front of you when you do this.

If the car hops and you have the cluch all the way down, then your clutch may need to be adjusted or as 51jay said the fluid may be low in the master cylinder.. Other reasons can be that there is air in the lines.. Have you changed the fluid lately? Just as brakes need bleeding so does the clutch.

Does the clutch feel diffrent to B4 this happened.. eg stiffer, loose?

A stiff clutch would indicate a problem with the presure plate or even the bearing and lever (pivot point may be worn, broken)

A loose feel would more than likely be air in the lines.

Sometimes a simple adjustment can solve the problem.

thanks guys i found out what the problem was, it had no fluid in the hydraulics(i think thats spelt wright) so i filled it up and then bleed the line and started it up and it was all good
