craggsy 91 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 ...........well not really but its getting me to that point. Cant get it to go into gear and ive bled clutch with a pressure bleeder and also reverse bled it but still no joy.So its going in to APS in Brackley Northants who know about R32s and they can sort it out.Ive done all I can i think, im sure its something else thats causing this problem. So they can take the gearbox off and have a good look at anything else it could be.Well guess what the money from the sale of the Rotrex is going on.See a lot of ya Saturday Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 So has the car had a new clutch and now after fitting it will not work or is this still the clutch that was on it's way out? Have you tried resetting your gear linkages or does the clutch operation not feel right at all? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Nope its a new clutch that has been in since september and done the ring and back plus laps and a track day at snetterton plus used daily. Till it went tits up on 8th October.Gears are in the right place as I can start it in gear and it drives as per normal, but try getting it into gear normally and it wont have it, it has had a new slave/release bearing when clutch was changed and has now had a new clutch master cylinder as well.I have put about 4 litres of brake fluid thru' it trying to bleed it Link to post Share on other sites
