froggy Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 ok so i have a mondeo mk 3 2.0 td di (mtx75 gear box) yesterday morning i got in the car put it in 1st to drive off but then had to put it in reverse as there was a car infront of me. for some reason it wouldn't go in reverse. it felt really stiff. it then wouldn't go into any gear at all. But if i turn the engine off it goes into every gear fine.i then started the engine again still wont go into gear. it felt like the clutch pedal wasn't pressed down this morning it was still stiff with engine runningso with engine off i put the car into gear and hold the clutch pedal down then start the engine and drove down the road. it was fine again, every gear was free so i went round the block even stopped the car and started it again all fine left it outside the house for about an hour and it went stiff again and couldn't get it into any gear Any ideas?? could it be a clutch problem? gearbox? or something else? cheers Froggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etrebus Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 sounds like you might be needing a clutch sounds like it isnt clearing and dragging , could be oil leaking on clutch ,might also be thust bearing as they are hyd iirc and they can leak but same job to change this as clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottg17 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 could be the dreaded DMF, is there any vibration when lifting the clutch, it should be smooth and lightish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveB Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 yes it smooth and light the previous owner said the clutch and flywheel were changed in march this year When it does it try pumping the clutch pedal a couple of times to see if it clears - it could just want bleeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
