Hey everyone, does anyone know why gears would crunch after installing a new clutch and release bearing? 3rd, 4th and 5th never really crunched before the clutch change, reverse would occasionally. And not sure if it's of note, but there's a really loud screech when I start the car now. I'm hoping this is the alternator belt slipping as the battery is weak right now, but maybe this can give some clues on the gear issue.
Or perhaps I haven't properly aligned the gear linkage? I didn't undo this at the selector tube, rather I undid the gear linkage from the box at the 13mm bolt.
Any insights would be much appreciated!
Thanks
- I can select all the gears fine with the car off.
- 1st and 2nd can be selected with no crunching.
- 3rd can be selected but crunches a lot.
- 4th and 5th feel blocked, if I try to force past there is lots of crunching.
