Well after spending all week polishing the car ready for Tatton Park Show where I was hoping for a trophy of some sort the day arrived. The wife was taking the TR8 and I was taking the GT40. I had strict instructions from the wife not to go racing off and leave her...well 5 miles out from home and as I had just changed into 5th gear at about 45 mph the engine revved and no drive.
I tried all the other gears but non worked. Wife went on to Tatton while I waited for the RAC to get me home.
Any ideas from this learned list ? My hunch is centre out of the clutch. I can hear the gears going in, linkage is ok, clutch pressur on the pedal is ok.
Either way I think the gearbox will have to come out.
Any easy way or any dos or dont's when taking the Renault box out of a GTD with 302 fitted?
Where am I likely to be able to get a clutch centre plate of the shelf in the UK?
Does anyone in the vicinity of Crewe in Cheshre want to practice their spanner skills with me and give me a hand ?
Looking forward to the replies and advice.
regards
Patrick
