errr....cut the story short

just went out to buy macs....

after i got out of macs....i couldn't get into any gear :D

i push the clutch many times and try to see if it helps...but no luck

i turn off the car....then i can push the stick into any gear

so....is this caused by a faulty clutch???? or something wrong with the gearbox (hope not)... :)

PS big thanks to the gentleman and his wife in the range rover helping me to push the car....really appreciated :)

cheers

Daniel

I would say its a clutch problem.

Check the slave Cil. Alot of places when replacing these find it hard to find one that fits straight so the seals get a lot of pressure put onto them.

Once you are sure the Hydrolics are working correctly check the condition of your clutch plate. You will have to remove the gearbox to do this ( A real pain) If you need some help or instructions just pm me i just replaced my clutch so its all fresh in my head :rofl:

As people have mentioned, the hydraulics (clutch slave cylinder) can go, which will prevent the clutch plate(s) from disengaging (mine started to leak, and I had to pump the clutch to change gear). New slave cyls are fairly cheap. Check the reservoir (next to the brake booster), to see if it has fluid. Its either that, or a mechanical problem with the pressure plate or possibly actuator fork.

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
