If the clutch isn't biting properly, surely that's more likely to be the clutch cable adjustment than the gearbox? I can't think of anything in the box that would slip like that.

yeah sounds like a problem with the interfaces between the gearbox and engine- hopefully its just your clutch that needs adjusting. Get some pickies up of your car kris, looks mint now that its done :)

i will do Tom my Lad! :D

it mite be the fact that i had to modify the DAM thrust bearing arm to fit my thrust, its COOKIN ME !!

its a BRAND new Clutch, i went to weston, and around Swansea for a few days and thats it,

my father and his Mate recon that the clutch is burnt out, but i dun understand that as i smelt nothing, and the 5 speed with the clutch felt right!

jus WELL hacked off, iv had the car painted, lookin like i want it, and now the bloody thing wont move! tipical!
