![]() I took my 218 coupe off Sorn yesterday from where it has stood in the garage since last November.It's been started periodically during that time but not moved.Got a problem with it that I have never had before despite it standing for extended periods on many occasions.
I cannot select any gear whilst the engine is running but there is no problem without engine running.The clutch depresses and returns normally. When I parked it up in November the clutch worked normally and there was no issues either selecting gears or with take up.Can anyone advise me what has happened please and how to rectify it? Hopefully without taking anything to pieces ☹️

![]() Is it grinding gears when you go to select any of them?
Try putting it in first and starting the engine with the clutch depressed,if it's trying to drive the clutch plate maybe stuck to the pressure plate or flywheel,but do make sure you are ready to turn it off if it lurches ![]() |

![]() Unfortunately sounds like a gearbox out job,the clutch has got stuck or the drive plate could have collapsed

![]() sworks (Mark) suggested idling it with the clutch pedal depressed hoping the heat transfer would free things up. I tried this for 50 minutes without any joy,maybe give it another go tomorrow for longer.
