hmmmm,

looks if your gear-box is a mess inside then? :-(

A stuck gearbox due the lack of oil is in most cases no good.

good luck!

put some oil in the gearbox and it was possible to move into gears although its not the lightest of gear changes..
had a new thought thanks to some guidance, could it be the clutch release beering? Im not too sure what this is but apparently its above the spline. A friend has mentioned that the standard sierra gearbox is shorter and narrow than other ones. Could this problem be because I have the wrong beering?

The other possibility might just be that theres some rust in the gearbox and it needs a good drive to throw the crap out!

Cheers

hi if you got the car with the engine+box already in and it will not move if it was me i would take the engine out and take them
apart and reline the clutch plate up and
start again and if this dose not work then
i do not know what it is...

hope it helps

I do not think your problem is the cluthc becouse with engine off you should change gear with any problem even with or without clutch pushed. However maybe you have a foult gearbox, sierra release bearing maybe could not be ok (too short)you should use QH cct133 as release bearing, and remeber to put a bearing in the flyweel.
Hope it is of any help.





Sorry about my English

If you ment the bearing in the flywheel:

If this one is to small, and the gearbox didn't fit without turning the bolts on.
Then you probably pushed this little part to one piece.

The nevertheless you still can turn the engine and the drive-axle must turn.

If you ment the clutchbearing which been pushed by your foot by releasing the clutch.

If to small then you could mounted it. If a miracle did happen then you pushed one's the clutch-pedal and the clutch would be permanent relaesed
