You may have asked before but have you tried the gearbox oil? Does it still struggle to go into gear when your stopped and lift the clutch a little on its own and apply very light pressure onto the gear to let it slot in properly?

Maybe your clutch cable (from ur pedal) is catching or streched would cause the clutch to not inishiate that extra bit..

I`d say tighten your clutch cable,Mines crunched into reverse for the last week or so and yesterday first and second went completely,so i oredered a new clutch booked it in for a clutch change,then i thought i`ll check the cable i tightened the nut a couple of turns and all is fine .So try that first.

Hi,
Yeah, I agreewith AIJ29, the clutch cable on a cinq is manual adjust, has to be adjusted every so many miles, its all layed out in the haynes manual, I think the pedal should travel 110mm..

Thanks

i just pit a new cable on other week and mine been adjusted 4 times since it now not goin into gear again so i can alos be overtight which will kill clutch dunno wheither to nip mine up agaain well see if it nakars even more

From personal experience, once you have replaced a clutch cable and you still keep needing to adjust it regularly, your clutch is on the way out.

oh well looks like mines bugerd then

from experience, i adjuested it, and then screwed on another 10mm nut so stop the old one rolling back, this seems to have solved it

Yeah. I did that too, but Id recommend putting a washer between the two as the adjuster is plastic and not distributing the stress (caused by the lock nut) over a large enough area might cause the plastic bolt's threads to fail...
