With engine off and gearbox in Neutral, does the car roll?

What happens when you try to start the engine with the box in Neutral and the clutch out?

 

[Toy]

I wont do it cause it will jam up or make a crashing noise.

 

[scottyf]

Really not getting the issue.

Is it stalling because it won't go into gear? Or is it stalling when in neutral and you let out the clutch.

 

[David C]

Sounds like failure in the gearbox.

Does it also roll with engine off and box in gear?

the car used to start in neutral with the clutch out but now it seems jammed.

 

[Toy]

because with the engine off, I can select all the gears, and the car starts and runs with the clutch in, I suspect it is something to do with the throw out. Is it common to have a failure with this model at the throw out?

 

[Toy]

how do I rule out ...if it is a diff problem?
I have the car jacked up and the front wheels off.

Okay engine off. Put into first geat. Clutch down. Start engine. What happens?

Apart from it being a manual box 147, we haven't got much info to go on.
Which engine is it?

its the 2ltr petrol engine

Sounds like the fingers from the pressure plate are starting to come off.
You'll need a new clutch.

Well it is gearbox related and you'll see the clutch when the gearbox comes out.
So gearbox or clutch, the box has to come out.

 

[scottyf]

Yup you won't know until removing the gearbox. Then you can properly identify tbe problem.

But whilst its removed you may as well replace the clutch and slave no matter if thats not the issue. Change tbe gearbox oil as you'll need to remove tne half drive shaft abd thats if the gearbox is okay. Generally the petrols dont suffer any gearbox issues. Its very much over engineered the box to the ts or jts power output.

So I suspect clutch will be your issue.
