Gearbox/clutch??? 07 connect

Postby MattJK » Sat Jun 12, 2021 9:14 am

Morning all. Should start by saying what I know about cars aint worth knowing. The problem started a couple of weeks ago where it wouldnt go into 1st gear or reverse. Its ok..ish once its warmed up. The problem has steadily got worse to the point its undrivable. Ive changed the transmission oil but that hasnt worked so am out of ideas. The clutch pedal seems quite close to the floor so that could possibly be it.

Normally I'd just take to a garage but I cant get booked into one for love nor money. Any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers lads

Any tips on how to change it without lifting the engine? My pedal is loose, gets into gear when the ignition is off, but won't when the car is started.

There are a few youtube videos were they leave the engine in ,..one by "bogge it and leggit" ..who has some problems with getting the driveshft out of the box and seams to make it look like very hard work( i myself could not imagine getting as stuck as he did, or making all the noises from exhaustion, he made me exhausted watching it) and he had a ramp ..the others i cant remember but they were ok
There are a lot of things to do, and time consuming - it its not quite strait forward, lot of stuff to come out battery tray, air box, wing liner, suspension dismantled etc.

all the best..mark

IIRC i just dropped the subframe a bit, i didn't fully remove it, just wedged the box on the lowerd SF and delt with the poor access to the clutch/flywheel, then used 2 trolly jacks to line up the box and engine.

Well, this guy has some seriously important news. Apparently the part will fail if not sealed with Locktite 518. There's all sorts of failure reports in the video. Posting here in case anyone else has the same problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK8oFanqZRA&t=176s
