So I got into my speed six this morning...

[Killer Rhubarb]

... And the sod wont go into gear!

Anyone else had this? Is this a common problem? Theres been no other problems at all, I parked her up last night at 11pm and now this!

Hi all by the way, I've been reading these forums since I bough the Cerb but havent found anything to post until now

Many thanks in advance for any advice you might shovel my way

Try pumping the clutch to see if it helps.
Assuming you have pressure on the pedal?

Does it go into gear with engine stopped?

Any fluid under the car or in the drivers side footwell?if so seals have gone in slave or master cylinder.

[kevin63]

Check the clutch fluid level, it is not un common for it to go down with no signs of any leaks.
The fluid is in the drivers side wing under the bonnet.

[Killer Rhubarb]

cheers gents, i tried the pumping, the car goes into gear when the engine isnt on? Cant see any fluid leakage. Someone else said cylinder too, bah what a pain!

[Killer Rhubarb]

uh weird, the level on the fluid is full to the top. if i start car in gear i can drive but not shift up to 2nd :P

[kevin63]

If it's the slave cylinder then it is gearbox out job, if it is master cylinder it is an easy cheap job (around £50ish) if it is the clutch it is gearbox out and a new clutch and possibly a new slave cylinder as a precorsion, prices varry on this from possibly around £800 to £1500 but that's just a wild guess.
Good luck.

Try adjusting the pedal travel,it adjusts on the nut on the threaded rod behind the pedal.

[Killer Rhubarb]

Ill try the pedal adjust. It had a new clutch 1500 miles ago, I thought master as soon as it didnt function. Oh wells thanks for the helpful info gents!

My specialist said he thinks the clutch finger(s) have broken? Anyone know roughly how muchg this would cost to repair? Cant get hold of APM maybe they are on holiday

My Cerbera had these symptoms and it was the clutch fingers broken. However, I did actually manage to drive the car back from Blackpool to Cambridge in this condition - although it was a little stressful. Started engine in 2nd gear and then when I thought the timing was right hunted around for a higher gear and we cruised home . Great car!

I had a Raceproved Clutch and Slave fitted. It's an expensive job unfortunately.

Good luck for a speedy fix

Where did you get the clutch from? Thanks mate

[DonnyMac]

I had the same symptoms - broken fingers.

APM Andy replaced for me - I dont recall it being as expensive as my initial shudder suggested
