gear problems

i havin problems getin my car into 1st gear,ive just replaced the gear box and clutch,just worderin if it is the linkages,whats every1s thoughts

I know you have just done the clutch, but i have done this before and had faulty clutches, the way to see is does it go into gear ok when the engine is not running? (first and reverse are the usual propblem gears) then i would say its more than likely clutch, or adjustment? if it doesnt go into first very well any time, then could well be a linkage problem. hope this helps

it seem to go in gear ok when its switch off

If thats the case then either the clutch is not adjusted correctly, or its possible the clutch itself is faulty.

i have learnt this the hard way before too, and now will only use genuine clutches, you pay a little more, but its worth it after taking the gearbox out 2 or 3 times..

all sorted ,found that the ratchet in the clutch cable was'nt releasing full,just done a full service and flush,and it pulling like a train

Glad its all sorted... it was kind of clutch adjustment then after all
