pablo when you say drive wont engage are you saying its going into gears but not driving the wheels? and being able to engage with no cluch being pressed makes me think the clutch is stuck engaged.update:
Got everything fitted and buttoned up and was time for a first start.
Hoping its a case of I bled the clutch incorrectly. I put a pressure bleeder on the reservoir and let the fluid flow from the bleed nipple on top of the box until it ran clear. Prob put 200-300ml of fluid through
- Turned the crank by hand and everything free
- Unplugged the coilpack and turned it over on the starter. all ok
- Connected coilpack and started up all ok
- Tried to put it into gear (on stands) and clutch felt awful. Hard, then soft, then stuck halfway down then freed up
- - can select gears without pressing the clutch
- - drive wont engage
Also of note is a light scraping sound while rotating. If I had to guess it feels like the springs on the pressure plate rotating against the slave cylinder.
I really hope this isnt a box off again affair, Im not sure my mental health could cope with it.
side note - far play to you for doing this 'GARAGE LEGEND'
