*HELP* Car wont go.

[Bailey_1260]

Think its the Gear linkage, need to have a proper look on the morrow.

Drove to the gym, fine, got into the car park, dropped the clutch and braked to let a car through selected 1st and wouldnt go any where.

No Pops, rattles bangs crunches anything, no gear box bits/oil anywhere on the road.

Clutch feels the same, gear box feels like it isnt going into gear (usually have trouble getting it into reverse, now just slips stright into position)

Need help asap guys.

Thanks

Bailey

Hmmmmm. Can you explain how the exhaust would cause this problem?

Was leaking and knoking and i sorted it the other day so this may be the cause.

you say it was hard to get into reverse before yes? well this is sometimes caused by the exhaust catching the selector rod this making it gard to put in reverse. (it happend to my old 1.2) then if you've been playing with the exhaust it may have moved on its mounts or come off of one or soemthing, thus stopping it go into gear. best thing to do is get underneath and look really mate
