Our 1971 1100 is suddenly able to select all gears without the use of the clutch! The clutch is OK. Any ideas?

Re: Gearbox failure
How do you know the clutch is ok, have you pulled the gearbox out? Sounds like clutch problem to me.
Re: Gearbox failure
I initially assumed that the clutch was the problem, and have taken the engine out, and put in a new clutch. The old pressure plate had lost a spring, and was very worn. Hence, I thought I had solved the problem. No such luck!
Re: Gearbox failure
you don't need the clutch to be able to change gear if you match engine speed to gearbox speed - what is the problem? do you still have drive etc....?

Re: Gearbox failure
Half-shaft gone?
Is the prop-shaft turning when it's in gear?
If the speedo shows you are moving, then start looking at the back axle.

Re: Gearbox failure
It was hard to give details as my daughter was driving when it failed! Propshaft is not turning when pushed, in or out of gear, so axle it is then. Thanks for the help.
