Hey Guys,
Ive had this beautiful Car for 6 months and haven't had it out much. Ive probably put less than 500 kms on her so I'm still getting to know the car.
I am having an issue with the gearbox and I've attached photos to help see whats happening.
First i will explain what is happening physically.
When driving last night it was a little difficult to grab gears but i assumed it just felt weird due to it being a month or two before i had driven previously. Then whilst heading down the freeway it was difficult to get 5th and would grind and not go in. I went back to fourth and it too was difficult to get her into that so gave it a little rev and it went in so i did the same with 5th and got her in. Upon arriving at my destination (about 15 min later) when the clutch pedal was pressed the car still ever so slightly wanted to creep forward so that tells me the clutch was not completing its full travel. (no clutch slip when in gear).
I parked it up for a bit and had a look and notice quite a large amount of oil/grease that has been flung around the engine bay as it looks like it has come from the coupler? (not sure what its called) but that is what the photos show. Then i dropped a mate off at home and couldn't grab reverse (very embarrassing) then pushed her back and managed to grab 2nd and 4th for the trip home. When i got to my driveway (in 2nd gear) i pressed the clutch in (to slow up, as if i go to fast it will scrape out) but the car stalled because it never came out of gear (freespin) so then i pressed clutch in and tried to start again and the car was moving under the starter motor power then fired up and it went a couple of meters before i had to shut it off because the clutch wasn't disengaging.
I hope someone can point me in the right direction as i am new to this but am fairly competent once i understand what i need to do.
My thoughts at this stage is a broken seal somewhere hence the thick oil everywhere and the gear selection progressively getting worse meaning a leak, The gold colour band around the coupler looks a little average and can be moved with a screwdriver but I'm not sure if thats the problem. There does look to be a larger buildup around one side of the coupler and all fling marks of oil are in line with that as well.
I have had no experience on these before and thought id try my best to get the brains on the subject.
Many thanks everybody. It is truly appreciated,
Regards,
Mitchell:thumbsup:
