My FD was fine until i decided to reverse. Wont go in gear at all. I have to really false the gear stick for it to go in. Now I have lost 1st as well. I have the remaining 4 gears and the clutch isnt slipping. Any ideas????
Gear selector forks out of alignment??

hope its something simple, havent got the money for clutch or gearbox at mo lol
Not sure about the RX but in a pevious car I had, the selector forks went a bit wonky and it was a nightmare to get it into gear. Had to really push it home or you\'d get nothing but neutral. Easy fix I reckon if it\'s the selectors. Best thing is to have a look or get a garage to have a butchers at it.
Sorry couldn\'t be more help, maybe others on here will know more.

Can you get it into gear with the engine stopped? If so, it might be the clutch not releasing properly.

Yes, or the spigot shaft bearing.

engine not running its fine. Main dealers have said gearbox and clutch hydraulics are all cool so must be clutch related
Lot\'s of times people get clutches replaced and all they need is adjusting.
Not saying you don\'t need a clutch as I haven\'t checked the car but. I see it many times where it just needed adjusting. you want details of what to check and where to adjust takes 2 minutes. If adjusting don\'t work I have clutch & flywheel, release bearing which I bought from reworx last year with about 500 or so miles on it available.
cool, only problem is trying to find somewhere who knows the cars to check for me. Reworx etc cant see the car for 3 weeks and its my daily drive so im a bit stuffed at the mo
I\'ll tell you what to check yourself, but if you don\'t know ought about cars you can bring it to me and I will adjust the clutch for you for free.
massive thanks - when can you do Brian?
I can do tomorrow either first thing in the morning between 7:30 -09:00 or afternoon between 2:30-5:30pm

Hey AshRX
what was it then that was wrong as im having similer problems ?
dunno took it out last night and really booted it hard. I have them back now lol
Spoke to Pip and he thought it might be build up of crap in the box or the plates were getting stuck.
Seems ok now
ok so you didnt make any adjusments to it then ?
i havnt tried to drive the car after it happened to me just incase while driving it jus doesnt go in gear !
but might take it out in the night and see how it goes
Only thing that was adjusted was the clutch pedal. My mate adjusted for me, meant the biting point was a lot higher up.
Bleed the clutch, see if that works first of all. What clutch do you have?
Cheers was given that advice on another post just got to figure out how to do that !
i think its stock hav not had the car too long
