Gearbox question

[whytie]

Picked a cheap pulsar up today with an issue with the box. It takes a good bit of force to put it into any gear you really have to push hard. Also after a 40 mile journey it would not hit reverse just crunched but would go in with the engine off. The biteing point on clutch is almost instant when you lift the peddal of the ground. Not sure if the clutch is just about fecked or mayby a linkage issue?

Sounds more like a clutch issue.Maybe adjusting it will help.

When I first drove It I thought straight away the clutch must be nearly gone. But people on here know alot mora about boxes than me

Try adjusting it at the pedal and see if there's anything left on it?

Could be fault with clutch fork but try adjusting first

 

[whytie]

I'll try adjusting it the tomorrow, was just thinking it was still really stiff to change gear with engine of and no clutch that's why I think there is a issue with the box. It's not a big deal as I'm stripping the car feck knows how someone could let the bodywork get in such a bad state.

 

[johnsy]

have you made your mind up yet about your track car , in regards to stripping it

 

[whytie]

Yeah it's not getting stripped, somehow in the past 2 months I've managed to basiclly find time and finish the car and also pick up a new trailer.

[Spikey]

I would say Clutch fork as is like the symptoms i had...

 

[whytie]

Cheers red, do you think it's the clutch when it's really stiff to change gear even with engine off?

 

[red reading]

If the clutch was fubar and someone has tried drivng it by forcing it into gear then chances are they have damaged the gearbox too.....

 

[whytie]

It goes in to gear with force, it mayby one off those short shifter that makes it tight. Id of thot clutch but if engine is of it goes into gear still really tight I'd of ruled out clutch
