Hi all,
Firstly, thank you to those of you who answered my last post, ( www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?t=21085 ) problem solved turned out to be the positive lead disconnected from the starter.
The next issue to tackle is the gearbox, serious problems changing gears especially 2nd, up or down (mostly up). 2nd gear does not engage on almost every attempt. Other gear changes are ok, but not what you\'d call smooth. Does it need replacing, or is there a simpler solution?
Second, when changing gears (all), the engine sort of gurgles. Any ideas? Could this be related to the other problem? A friend mentioned something about the engine mix being off, which can be adjusted by a simple tweak of something somewhere, could this be the cause?
As I mentioned before, I know NOTHING. Simple explanations in layman?s terms would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.

first thing to look at.have you checked the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder.if it is low could mean a leak possibly on the slave cylinder.I would check that first?

Hi,
Cable operated clutch on these.

What date is it?.Mine was a 96 N plate has hydraulic clutch.ps is it crunchy gearchange or just heavy getting into gear?
|
|
Not sure which year exactly its T reg. Can't say theres really a crunchy noise just stiff, when change to 2nd seems ok until I put my foot down, also on occasion, the gear will pop back out not only on 2nd.
|
|
Just a thought check out rear engine mounting.if that has broken may cause it.worth a look even if it is ok?

MK1 400 (89-95) had a cable clutch
Mk2 400 (95-99) had a hydraulic clutch
