OK then everyone, bought a fiat 500 sport 2013 to sell noticed 1st 2nd gears were noisy, 100 ml round trip guy said I thought it was normal, yea right, anyway got 400 quid off, thinking 250 ebay box, pal will swop them 250,ok 100 out so far, anyway 3weeks messing me around, I took the box out axle stands most of the day, took it to a gearbox specialist shop, 260 cih, collected it yesterday, 6 hr later after struggling it was in a state to try new clutch,, no water no oil in box, wanted a few seconds to go through the motions clutch felt fine, but wheels not turning, brake on, in gear, nothing so before ringing the shop, checked cv, s all in tight, hmm, rang the shop his reply shocked me, he said I know what it is, the axle has moved out of line while you were getting the box in, and did you see the rolled up cardboard in one of the cv holes, yes I said I saw it as I was about to lift it in, there you go he he left that in to stop the alignment moving, forgive me but whaaaat and why didn't he say, I said I thought it was to stop dirt going in, was a 4inch loosely bit of card, can't get you breath, said he will come to my house next week to have a look, after fighting this car for 2 days on the floor at 76 I've had enough
Didn't try plate on spigot shaft, was a cow to get in laying on the floor, but you can feel the clutch working, hear a whirring through the gears, but not transmiting it to the wheels, yes used bolts the get the last qrt inch in, sachs clutch,,,
