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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
