Hi, After 5/6 years off the road I have now got my 2+2 MOT'd but am working my way though a number of teething problems as they come up. The one that is causing some concern is in respect of the gear change. It hasn't been good since I got the car back on the road but I went out in the car yesterday and as I drove it became more and more difficult to select a gear. At one point I was on the front row at traffic lights and was unable to select any of the 6 gears that should have been available! That was exciting/embarrassing. Eventually I managed to 'forcefully' select a gear and get moving but every gear change after that was a bit hit and miss. Several times I had to pull in and let traffic past as I tried to find a gear. I finally plucked up courage to go in the garage this morning and investigate - and I was able to select all the gears without any problems albeit the engine wasn't running. With the engine running and getting up to temperature it seemed to get more difficult to select a gear although I didn't road test it because of the problems previously experienced. As part of the recomissioning I put a new clutch in but I have now noticed a 'whirring' which stops when I press the clutch pedal in. I am thinking that the clutch is dragging which I understand would cause selection problems. Should I have reset the segment and pawl at the top of the clutch pedal when I put the new clutch in? Would resetting solve the noise and selection problem? From what I can see, or not see, this will probably require the removal of the dashboard? Any thoughts/opinions/advice will be gratefully received. Regards Phil Holden
