So i bought this today:



The gearbox is slipping (quite badly)

Are there quick fixes to try? It needs to be cheap or it won't be done

thanks James

Soooo........why did you buy it? It may just be a knackered clutch.

Because it was cheap

It has a CVT gearbox, do these have clutches?

The clutch is inside the gearbox. How cheap is a cheap fix for you?

As it happens, Dave provided pictures while he was scrapping one of these gearboxes a few days ago.

How cheap can things be? Oil change, earth straps? A rebuild is not an option

Ah, I was thinking of a Selepeed they have a normal clutch. If it was mine I'd ditch this gearbox & fit a manual.

When these slip is it often the clutch?

If that is it are they diy replaceable? generally speaking

if you are going to scrap the box anyway its worth trying some of that lucas additive stuff, some claimed it worked.

Lucas claim it cleans these valve things and enables proper shifting. Potentially your car does not fully get into gear and so the clutch is not released?

Lucas now offers part number 1414 for cvt. Earlier model spec sheet says do not use for cvt. Is it ok to use the earlier model for cvt?
