Big Sandy suggested I start a thread about my transmission problems and that he may be able to place the replies so far into this new thread so here it is.
Story so far is replaced clutch master cylinder 4 weeks ago as it was leaking . 2 weeks later I ended up driving home stuck in third gear . If I stopped with engine on and clutch pressed down then raised the clutch to biting point it would clonk and then come out of gear and let me select a gear but then jam again. I replaced clutch slave cylinder as thought would be clutch related but no difference .
And a quick edit from Big Sandy to say...I think I have all the relevant posts in this thread. Hopefully in the order they were posted. Still, all the relevant info is in one place. Starting with......
Clutch slave cylinder. I knew it was a horrible job from last time and I was right . Got it off easy enough as floors are up so top bolt easy from inside. Could not get the metal feed pipe to screw on new one so took it off from the flexi and hey presto right angle and straight on . Just bled it so transmission tunnel and floors back in tomorrow and I can see if I have gears again . Interestingly when I tried to drain old cylinder to prevent a brake fluid shower I opened the bleed nipple and nothing came out . Left it for 10 minutes but nothing so wondering if I had a bubble of air stuck in the cylinder .
