broken down in kent !!!!!!!

[badboyburt]

Just finished golf at river valley and cant engage gears. I can when engine is off but not when running so must be the clutch ffs. Ive got the ls7 and regularly change fluid although last fluid change was around 4k ago. Any ideas for a quick fix ? It drove fine from essex this morning and no signs of sticky pedal syndrome.

Has it lost any fluid?

[badboyburt]

Ye full fluids neil

Sounds like slave or master cylinder.

Engage 2nd, press clutch start it, it will probably jump forward and get going. Then accelerate gently, till you are ready to change up. Then release gas pedal and knock the shift lever out of the gear (will be easy and safe when it's the wheel powering up the enging so decelerating). Then match the revs and push the shift lever forward gently to engage 3rd. Should slip into the gear with no grinding. Just be gentle. Carry on with 4th 5th etc same way. Same way downwards. Full stop will require restarting the engine in gear to get going again.

All of the above if it's the slave or master.

Good luck.

where are you stuck mate ?

[ringram]

Pump the pedal loads too, maybe a bit of air in there?

[badboyburt]

Ye full fluids pedal is now on the floor though. Had no symptons before this. Pissed because breakdown expired 3 weeks ago and havent renewed it. Doh !!! 1st time in 5yrs I dont have recovery.

[neiljohnson]

Will the pedel pump up or does it just drop straight back to the floor?

[badboyburt]

Neil the pedal is floored. Anychance I c9uld leave it at your place and let you have a look at it. Im in upchurch me9 near rainham.

I can get it recovered but no one In essex can fix these.

Sounds exactly like slave.
Try the method I gave above. I managed to cover 500miles of roads when blew up the slave in Germany whilst heading to Poland.

Stick it in first, start it up, then match revs with road speed to change gear.

(I had my clutch pedal on the back seat for weeks....not recommended but you can deffo drive home that way. Changing down a little more difficult than changing up.
