right, im in need of help!


my UT wont select gears. when u put it in what u think is 1st, 2nd 3rd etc, it isnt selecting the gear.

ive dropped the box, and the clutch ive had made ( 4 paddle jobbie ) is catching on the box housing on the inside (obviously). so that cant be helping, and after being on the phone for 20 mins to the company that made it, they said that my flywheel might need skimming and for them to set up the clutch and the pressure setting or something. now once theyve done this, im going to get them to supply a new realise bearing that works with this paddle clutch and get them to check it'll work.

once all thats done, its box back on etc and then onto checking the gear linkages which i know are getting warn, and trying to find new ones (as fiat dont make em no more :( )

so really, the help im after is any more ideas as to why my UT isnt selecting gears?

ive tried starting the car in gear and it just makes an awfull grinding noise and not bumping forward like id expect it too
ive tried pressing the clutch and i get a grinding noise (release bearing i guess)
ive tried putting it in gear with the engine running and it starts making the grinding noise again

really pishing me off as once this is done im really on the home straight!

any ideas? or should i see what the outcome is once ive droipped my box, clutch, flywheel and release bearing off at the clutch company?

aghhhh! sorry for a messy post, that prob doesnt makee much scense but im stressing out here!! grrrrrr
